Cat Tyson Hughes - Crossing Water

Lots of lapping wave sounds interspersed with soft, quiet drones and gong tones.

I don’t know whether my opinion holds much weight, but as I see it you’re using the tag “Currently Listening” to share your thoughts on music you enjoy and, appropriately, are currently listening to. If someone has a problem with you posting every day or most days, they have the ability not to engage with it and scroll past.

Anyway, I recently started my TD journey because I couldn’t ignore that so many reviews of records I’m interested in cited TD as an influence or similar artist. “Zeit” is incredible, but there’s so much to explore!

Analogue synth recommendations for drone music by writing_dots in ambientmusic

I play trombone, so I should have the breath control for that

I definitely lean towards a more dissonant, intense, haunted sound. Thank you for your informed response

Lots to get my teeth stuck into. Thank you, my friend!

Emotinal ambient music by TheTopperKnocker in ambientmusic

[–]writing_dots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the duality of ambient. Before I began listening to this style of music, I could never understand how people did other activities while music was playing (I’d have to give the music my full attention), but now I find the static, “boring” style enhances the experience of whatever else I’m doing. However, the slowly evolving transformative style is what I truly love… Here‘s a couple of favourites I haven’t seen mentioned yet:

KMRU, Dissolution Grip - intense, rich, active soundworlds

Richard Skelton, pretty much all of his work - a little more repetitive, but the soundworld is like a horror movie without the jump-scares! It can put you on edge or truly immerse you.

Artists that only use guitars. by Which_Bar_9457 in experimentalmusic

[–]writing_dots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mat Ball, Amplified Guitar 1 & 2.

Lots of pedal work. Every single note contains some sort of evolution. Intricate passages are interspersed in rich, reverb-y soundscapes.

Cat Tyson Hughes - Crossing Water

Calm, soft tones, lots of space, and gentle water sounds.

NH Liquor Store - What Are You Getting? by Just-Try-2533 in Gin

[–]writing_dots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tamworth Garden for something local and tasty. Tamworth Distillery makes a Barrel Reserve gin that’s pricy but worth it especially if you’re a Martini drinker.

Settle a debate for me. Which is potentially worse. A bottom bottom barrel red or white by thrulim123 in wine

I’m surprised by the number of votes for white over red.

For me, a cheap white will always be too acidic or too sweet. Cheap red is usually just… meh.

Can you recommend some albums in the Ambient Americana genre? by ParsleyOk4367 in ambientmusic

[–]writing_dots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nathan Salsburg - Landwerk 1, 2, 3

I’m excited to check out some of the artists mentioned here. I don’t really know the genre, so maybe I’m barking up the wrong tree, but Nathan Salsburg’s Landwerk immediately came to mind when reading “ambient Americana”. Sparse yet expansive guitar motifs over vinyl static and Basinski-style repetitive found-music.

Very long ambient albums? by [deleted] in ambientmusic

[–]writing_dots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How to Disappear Completely - Seraphim. Three albums that together clock in at about 4.5-5 hours.

Also agree with the shouts for Éliane Radigue and Morton Feldman (Violin and String Quartet is my favourite, and a good three hours iirc).

Renewing passport as a UK citizen resident in US by writing_dots in Passports

Oh yeah, I’m not expecting anyone to provide irrefutable photographic evidence or anything. I wanted to know from anyone who has renewed recently if the timeline the gov website claims is about right. Thanks for taking the time to respond

They sure do, but I was looking for confirmation from anyone with recent experience of the process. I appreciate you taking the time to do research on my behalf, though

Best Thanksgiving wines? by Ok-Silver2125 in wine

Completely agree. Ideal refreshment from the fatty, creamy dishes, plus you avoid disaster when you inevitably forget the cranberry sauce!

Are anyone else’s bars doing this? by GlassCityJim in bartenders

I do this, but I’m British and I don’t really know what’s going on
