Ambient Music

[DVNT]

Burial is amazing.

You know he makes all his tunes on Soundforge? No sequencer or anything.

I haven't heard the new album, but Hyperdub 1 is mesmerising.

New album is not as good. Some nice tracks, but he over does the weird speed garage vocal thing and the album does suffer a bit for it.

The Ghost Hardware EP is all killer thou. :) And I can't believe I'm typing these people, but Bloc Party got him to do a quite decent remix.

[DannyBlack]

I agree that the vocals were over done a small bit on the second album, but track for track I'm still blown away by it. Of course it is always going to be hard to top the first album though.

I didn't hear the Bloc Party remix yet, whats it called?

[DVNT]

**** knows. Go on Youtube and type in BLOC party and Burial and it should come up.

Don't get me wrong the 2nd album is good. It's just he seems to have not developed it as much as the first. Which is probably due to the pressure bought on by the ever growing hype.

Boomkat is wicked. You should go into the sale section and pick some random stuff out. :) Got some right weird folktronica that way.

I just went digging around for Techno Animal sets etc and found this stuff from one of the guys projects- Justin Broadrick, "Final".
Tis nice and ambient 112kbps stuff.

Wow, 'Failure' is stunning.

[DannyBlack]

Right, I'm in work and non of the systems are working so I decided to have a crack at an ambient track. It aint that accurate time wise. I made it with Audacity portable and a few samples I could scrounge of the www.

link to set not working. can someone please re-upload it? thx

[Paul Zykotik]

Yeah, that link is just timing out for me. Really eager to hear it though.

Looking forward to checking all the stuff listed on this thread. Also that Burial mix of Bloc Party is superb, he really knows how to bring out a sombre edge in his music. Agree with the person who said too many sped up vocals on the second album though - spoiled it for me.

Here you go lads-

Set up a Podcast and set it up on iTunes, Misjah does a different mix every month, it's really good.

[davethedrummer]

nice to get some feedback going about ambient music
it's an integral part of techno to my mind, mainly because it focuses on sculpting sound very much like techno does in it's purest form.

i did put a little post up a while ago about modulate
( http://www.modulate.org.uk )
i saw them at shambala festival where they were doing this open air installation:

10 identical speakers ( good ones )
on identical stands at about head height focused into the centre of a perfect circle about 5 metres in diameter with a weird buzzing / industrial noise loop panning round and round really fast.

stand in the exact centre and WOW !
feels like your head is about to unscrew.

I'm getting a bit of feedback from myuzyk aboout the ambient mix so thanks for the ideas
warp are not taking demos at the moment
and the hyperdub guys are more dubstep/electronica than ambient as such, but i have a few other ideas so it's all good.

that thing in the woods at shambala was mental - i stood in there for ages attempting to take it in - made me feel dizzy after a while - great stuff

[Kendall Station]

I have been making some ambient recently
and i've got a mix i'd like to share with you all

can anyone recommend a good place to host it?
maybe a label to release it even?

Dave, I just put out a CC release on a new ambient net-label that is looking rather promising. I know the guy heading it up and think he's really on the lookout for new stuff.

I agree there's not enough ambient being made by techno-heads these days...they're hand in hand IMO.
