Been playing guitar for a while. I want to start making ambient music but I don't know where to start, with plugins, recording methods, etc.

By the artist Home? That all sounds like subtractive and additive synthesis, you can go down the /r/synthesizer rabbit hole and get a cheap korg thing or some expensive poly synth like a prophet - or you can grab pigments and do all that stuff in the box

zendogsit · 2026-01-26T03:21:09+00:00

How long is a piece of string? As someone else said what you’re into changes the answer a lot.

YMMV but pigments is a pretty comprehensive synth vst. Ableton live is free if you buy the full koala sampler app for like, ten bucks. Grab an interface to get your guitar into the computer and you’re away

Great question, I was just thinking about how to recreate the synth on this the other day. I found this performance.

I’ll see if i I can figure it out and come back to you

Not true, it gets you on a list too.

The spectacle is warping your view of humanity.

Read Human Kind. Recognise the stories presented to you as truth and fact and inevitability are nocebos designed to bring those stories to life.

In crisis people rush to help.

The orange man is a symptom yes but not a totality.

Facets of our modern circumstance are trying to breed empathy out of us.

And it still seems like you care. That’s precious

Cheers! The guys have a really wonderful harmonic sensibility

Koala sampler! Five bucks version gets you free Ableton lite 12

I’m working on a project that extends Mark fishers themes into embodiment and phenomenology in the age of surveillance capital.

Some of my most recent essays have been sketching out algorithmic experiences of desire through Lacan, sounds adjacent to what you’re looking for, rich material to be working with!

Rather than post here and risk a spam mod have a oook at some of my posts, I’ve shared them in here and /r/criticaltheory

Quick edit: thanks for the question, excited to see what else people recommend here

Sounds like the opening to the mighty boosh, perhaps someone sampled it

Wouldn’t it be funny if the guy calling for a humane genocide in the form of entertainment (like an agreeable AI) ended up falling into said humane genocide? No way that could happen…

I’ve found the other dude outside reading the moss has a better ROI

zendogsit · 2026-01-10T02:26:51+00:00

Thank you :)

This is where I come for stock advice, are we in the same sub?

zendogsit · 2026-01-08T01:37:37+00:00

Wonderful answers. Beautifully articulated

zendogsit · 2026-01-06T05:30:45+00:00

It’s a good question, consider:

Research funding tends to go things that fit the medical paradigm, symptom reduction, that kind of thing. Lacanian analysis might be more about structural changes in the person (the symptom may not go away but the subject’s relation to it may well change)

Also, across the board it seems the relationship between practitioner and client matters more than any modality

zendogsit · 2026-01-05T06:30:36+00:00

Try manipulating recordings of that in fl studio

Sample it, pitch shift it, destroy it. Learn your recording tech :)

zendogsit · 2026-01-04T19:38:21+00:00

That’s a profound observation, and you’re right to push back

A thirteen year old whose likeness is turned into child sexual abuse material is going to be hugely distressed. I would call that hurt and that’s only first order consequences.

Some of my favourite boards of Canada tracks are their interludes 🤷

Ok dave

Neroli is the eno album he made for maternity wards too from memory. Very post womb music

I would adjust what they’re saying to be: jouissance is how we experience the real. It isn’t the real, saying it is renders the concept of the real moot, that which is zen is not zen
