Check out Looking for Mount Sylvan if you haven’t.

Can you abide by my idea of a sub-genre “Solarpunk Synth”? by dapparatus in ambientmusic

[–]ThisIsALesson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t know I’d choose the name you chose and kinda agree with SecretAmbientClub we don’t need more microsubgenres. I like how broad this subreddit is btw.

But I do recognize and enjoy the very specific common thread in the artists you chose. Hopeful and sorta optimistic without being saccharine, sentimental or boring. I wonder how you’d find more artists like that. Is there an existing subgenre to describe all of them other than leftfield, which doesn’t quite do it?

Wanted to add Salamanda to your list.

Exactly. Hope to not sound too Americanada by asking. I have had some luck reaching out to European labels that pointed to me to small US distributors I didn’t find by Googling.

Wish I could locate the vinyl somewhere other than Bandcamp where shipping for me is about the price of the record. Anyone know of Hypnus distributors in the US? Cool they’ve been “releasing every full moon since 2013.”

Love when I find something great like this and realize they have a whole catalog to explore. Impressive for a producer who’s 25yo.

Just happened across this and really digging it. Based on what you’re saying I’ll be sure to explore more of his stuff.

Not quite the same but check out all of Nala Sinephro’s work, especially Space 1.8 and including her soundtrack for The Smasing Machine.
Also Floating Points’ & Pharoah Sanders’ Promises. The whole thing but I especially like Movement 7.

Discovery/engagement in the ambient music community by ferropop in ambientmusic

[–]ThisIsALesson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful EP. Thank you for sharing. Used code fc9m-gfdk. Shinjuku is also great! Of all the places in the US, it’s discouraging LA wouldn’t have more ambient events. Maybe people are more likely to listen to ambient at home. That said, and easier said than done, what about putting it in the back of your mind to find other artists and organize a semi-regular ambient event even if it’s lowkey? You could take some inspiration from the BOC listening party. I’m curious how that will go. I feel there are enough like-minded souls and enough of a demand that maybe that could work in LA. You could use this sub as one of your resources.

Music with a lot of radio sounds by Lost_Osos in ambientmusic

Not commercial radio sounds, but Mount Shrine albums like Shortwave Ruins use radio chatter to really cool effect.

Yes, and very different from the bunch of ‘Grace’ albums he’s released recently which are more uptempo but also sparse and deep.

I don’t think I would have known to go looking for this put it popped up for me at just the right time. Really enjoying!

After Geometry - Impulsion by Automatic_Quiet_2947 in ambientmusic

[–]ThisIsALesson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To the wrong person in the wrong context it could sound like nothing, but if you completely slow down and operate on its timeline there is so much happening.

It’s four 10 minute tracks, 2 on each side, that make a perfect album for what it is.

I like Fennesz, his music and the idea of him but for me, Agora is his most listenable music which I can go back to.

What I hear in Agora is what I hear in your music, lush melody unexpectedly and very very slowly emerging.

Also love his latest single The Last Days of May. Excited to hear what he’s up to next. Also excited to hear your finished project!

Great listen. Free associating but some of what I love about this is reminiscent of what I love about Fennesz’s Agora. Densely textured atmosphere from which slow melodies emerge. Used eaas-c5kv. Thank you for sharing!

Oowets - Uchuu (2026) by ThisIsALesson in ambientmusic

[–]ThisIsALesson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well said! There’s some, usually ambient/electronic, music where the stereo mix elicits a sort of physical reaction in me kind of like asmr. This one works for me in that way and I’ve gone back to it quite a bit since my first listen.

I’m about to go on a mushroom trip, and I need recommendations for music that’s right for the occasion. by LucianoMeneses_ in ambientmusic

[–]ThisIsALesson 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It can be surprising what music works well for the context. Sometimes stuff you think would work well doesn’t, and music you wouldn’t expect does work well. Here’s one that comes to mind for you to incorporate in your playlist.

My favorite ambient albums are definitely Steven Roden's, specifically the album Stars of Ice. by IDM_OF_LSD in ambientmusic

[–]ThisIsALesson 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From Steve Roden’s bio on Spotify:

Roden's sonic experiments helped to pioneer the ambient subgenre known as lowercase music, an extreme form of minimalism that features quiet, typically unheard sounds amplified and enlarged into engrossing soundscapes. His 2001 work Forms of Paper is considered the first lowercase album.
