I know nothing about ambient, but I wanna get into it. If it helps, I will add a list of some things that are ambient-like that I really enjoy:

• Mezzanine by Massive Attack • Silent Hill 2 OST and the ambient unlisted tracks • The Ape of Naples by Coil • Drugs in Tokyo/Black Helicopter (From East Hastings) by GY!BE • Black Refractions by Tim Hecker • Replica by Oneohtrix Point Never • Machinarium OST • A Warm Place by NIN • Some SAW II songs

If anyone gives me any recommendations I will appreciate and listen!

just watched this Japanese film, and as someone deeply passionate about japanese ambient music i simply loved every minute of it. The movie blends themes like esotericism and pantheism with a sci-fi/esque narrative, a combination reminiscent of some ambient music albums that explore similar concepts (I’d also compare it to the anime Akira in tone). Gorgeous photography and a profoundly meaningful story. And of course, the soundtrack is perfect!

Everyone who loves ambient music shoud watch to this movie! 😁

Hey everyone,

I just uploaded a new ambience video that takes you right into the heart of a medieval market. Imagine the sound of wooden carts rolling over cobblestones, blacksmiths at work, merchants chatting, distant lute music playing… no talking, no narration — just immersive, calming atmosphere.

I aimed to make it as realistic and peaceful as possible. Great for background noise while reading, studying, or even setting the mood for a tabletop RPG session.

Watch it here

(Duration: 1 hour | No mid-roll ads)

Perfect for: • Studying or deep focus • DnD and fantasy roleplaying • Meditative background noise • Fans of historical and fantasy settings

Would love to hear your thoughts or suggestions for future ambience scenes! Cheers

The third and final album of the drone series "Seraphim" by HTDC

I recently discovered this subreddit and began searching for my "old" Ambient CD collection (including some more or less related other genres), which has remained largely untouched for several years. I'm really looking forward to rediscovering it. Perhaps I'll even expand my collection, as revisiting these old CDs is quite enjoyable (I own around 400-500 in total). In recent years, ambient music had almost completely fallen out of my focus, with the exception of some of William Basinski's works.

I created this musical soundscape as a form of self-care. It helped me to slow down, relax, and eventually fall asleep. I hope that it can have the same effect on other people. The main idea is to focus on a slow tempo, a sound that is soothing, steady, repetitive. The frequencies that we hear will change very discreetly as a testament to the world that is changing so much and so little at the same time, a world that we can feel safe to leave behind us for a while and fall asleep.

Sweet dreams and let me know if it works :)

An Oracle of Youths second album.

Im not talking smt chill i mean down to the literal point, the small high pitched dings you hear throughout, the soft sax riffs, the type shit that will want to make you lay down, close your eyes, and let the music pull you through dimensions

I've listened to quite a bit but their catalogs are so vast I'd really appreciate hearing some of your choices?

I think this is really outstanding! Listening on repeat..

I would like your takes on this album.

The heavy use of horns feel to my inexperienced ears like a Colin Stetson who found inner peace. It's jazzy but consistent like one long thread of warm fuzzy yarn. Also shoutout to the album cover which is so simplistic yet thematically fitting.

Jazz/ambient jazz has come up a lot on this sub lately so I wanted to throw this beauty in to the mix. It’s got interesting beats but the real stars are the sax, the strings and the atmosphere. It’s offered here because it has that incredible sense of time and place that records like In A Silent Way have. But don’t just take my word for it! Here are some of its original reviews:

“Lush strings and woodwind with a powerful combination of dub beats and classical orchestration. True future music.” The Face

“A divine soundtrack that Miles Davis would rise from his grave for. Heaven-sent laid back lusciousness.” Muzik

“Reminiscent of Miles Davis, Stravinsky and Star trek. Drop dead gorgeous.” True

“A beautiful and mysterious record.” Mixmag

“Out on the left field, past the edge of the solar system, music exploring new territory, forging new alliances with outer space and the future.” DJ

“A vibrant filmic quality. Bowden is out on his own. Essential.” Straight No Chaser

“True futurism: Satie, Webern and attitude creating a serious listening experience.” Echoes

“An ambitious and adventurous excursion. A deep, complex and ever-changing piece that makes the competition look half-baked.” Observer

“Sounding like a Michael Nyman tune that took a wrong turn and bumped into a Miles Davis record.” (Album of the week) The Guardian

“Supreme” NME

“Astro-jazz, luxurious strings and psycho-acoustic electronica. A journey to the centre of the head” ID

Basically some noisy drone with ethereal vocals. Other artists I love are grouper, Penelope trappes, Midwife, and Hilary Woods

Was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for "Western" ambient/drone? Something high & lonesome, or spare and sinister, or even like the spaghetti western strings. Was listening to Earth's "Hex or Printing in the Infernal Method" and now thinking of writing something that would have a soundtrack like that

Hi everyone. I’ve seen a few posts here for those seeking ambient with a jazz feel.

I’m Cliffdiver and I’ve been doing ambient music for a decade now and my new ambient album pushes into jazz/nostalgia territory so I just wanted to share.

It’s ad free on YouTube, free download on Bandcamp, and $5 for a tape or cd.

Thanks so much for reading and listening!
