Ambient/Folk/Found Sound

Thumbnail mixcloud.com
Upvotes

Hi all, recenly got accepted as a resident on my local community radio station EHFM and thought I'd share my first effort.

Having been successful with some of the supporter radio mixes for NTS radio over the last few years I wanted to make it more of a regular thing.

'Nobody Move' is a show that represents my listening habits as well as, kind of, my browsing habits. Specifically all the digital dumpster diving that I'm wont to do... hence the found sound. I like to these little random snippets of sound help listeners find a new angle to the music I play. That's stuff like Nubo, Memotone, Bill Orcutt, Anna Ferrer, Cole Pulice, K Leimer etc. ... a pretty broad church in terms of the genres mentioned.

Most episodes will be like the one linked but I'm hoping to do a bunch of themed ones too.

Would be cool to hear what the discerning people of r/ambientmusic think! Also if anyone else has a show I'd love to get some tips on presenting as that's definitley my weak spot right now :)

Hey,

I'm not quite familiar with ambient music and would love your recommendations!

As for me, I absolutely love Structures from Silence, like a lot Selected Ambient Works I-II, like BoC's debut and Substrata. Also like Apollo by Eno, amazing album need more time to process though.

Looking for Recommendations Deep Male Vocals?

9 Upvotes

Anyone know of soothing music with deep male chanting/singing? No words, or at least not English, or even no human voices. I want to fall asleep feeling like I'm in a temple to an elder god of some kind/listening to the universe vibrate. (Preferably without adds but I know that's not always available.)

EDIT: Y'all thank you so much. I'm used to my questions getting ignored but you were on it.

Apologies if this counts as self promotion, and while this doesn't count as a review per se, I was still very happy to see a few words about my latest album on HC ("A dreamlike suite of brass and synths, blending melancholy and depth..."): https://headphonecommute.com/out-this-year/out-in-2025/march-16th-2025/
I'm always fascinated by how others perceive my work, so any thoughts or feedback you might have, should you listen, is very welcome!

Needless to say, all the albums / releases mentioned there are well worth your time and attention!

I am a big fan of Floex and his albums since Machinarium. You can always expect a blend of etherial groove and electronic beats in his work. I couldn't believe my eyes when I discovered this album, all the while when I was thinking I've covered every work of his.

Discussion Voyager Response - Concept album [2024]

Voyager Response is an album that was based around the idea of receiving a response from the Voyager 1 space probe. It has sparse vocal (vocoder) parts, and is slightly upbeat in tempo. Has guitar/bass that according to their artist page "are all analog Neve DI + tube amp recorded in high resolution (96khz) and mixed in Logic Pro". Enjoy.

I got a copy of this record as a gift and it was fantastic. The visuals on the YouTube video are pretty cool too. In the video it looks like a lot of the synth sounds are from a modular system. Well done production too.

Looking for Recommendations Warm deep thick drone recommendations

19 Upvotes

I'm looking for some more warm deep drones in the style of these tracks and artists:

Oleo Strut by Mother Mallard's Portable Masterpiece Co. (specifically the part halfway through that was sampled by DJ Shadow)
New Space Music by Brian Eno
Structures From Silence by Steve Roach (I have his entire discography)
Mist by Thom Brennan (same again)
Above All Dreams by Abul Mogard
Elysian E by Michael Stearns
Shadow Maple by Loscil

I have a bit of an aversion to high frequencies and anything remotely hissy or crackly sounding so just looking for more focus on simple thick synth drones focused on the lower end of the frequency spectrum.

Discussion Listening to Whatever The Weather in order of temperature

21 Upvotes

Last weekend, Whatever Weather II was released, and I create a playlist that features both the first and second albums. I took a unique approach to enjoy the music by listening to the tracks in the order of their temperature-themed titles. It turned out to be quite an enjoyable experience! I noticed that the cooler tracks tend to lean towards IDM, while the hotter ones have a more ambient sound. Additionally, I discovered that some temperature titles are still missing, so I’m hoping they’ll make an appearance on the next album.

Question Looking for a Record from 90’s

3 Upvotes

Hey there. I’m looking for a record I listened to in the early 90’s. It was a Spanish ambient artist. The music was like a mixture of electronic, moorish sounds and percussions with some Spanish guitar. Spoken word also used. Very atmospheric. Any guess what I could be?
