Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted August 29, 2011 Members Share Posted August 29, 2011 Explosions and Album Leaf are not ambient!! There is a lot of very liberal interpretation of the term 'ambient' in this thread. It's a rather.... Um... ambiguous term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members caeman Posted August 29, 2011 Members Share Posted August 29, 2011 I never fashioned myself an ambient guy, but I must admit that there is some nice sounding music in this genre. You can sit back while reading a magazine, or while at work. Some of the local public radio stations have an hour or two, people I've never heard of. Pandora is great for discovering this kind of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, if it has drums, it's not ambient. Ethnic Percussion = New Age Regular Drums = Post-Rock Electronic Drums = IDM or down tempo There are always exceptions of course, for instants Hammock kind of weave in and out of post-rock and ambient, but that's my general rule.

I think a lot of people confuse ambience, the texture, with ambient, the genre; and just because it has the former, doesn't mean it is the latter.

Members fly135 Posted August 29, 2011 Members Share Posted August 29, 2011 Ambient music is when you're playing with your new M5 and a looper. http://soundcloud.com/fly135/Dark-Wave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nankuamedha Posted September 1, 2011 Members Share Posted September 1, 2011 Good thread is {censored}ing awsome. I'll deter from my normal Tim Hecker and SFTF response that I usually post in this monthly thread.I've been really into Sandro Perri's work lately, both under his name and under "Polmo Polpo." Listen to "Like Hearts Swelling" fist, and if you like it follow it up with "Plays Polmo Polpo" for lovely reinterpretations of the previous album. You can listen to both of these, along with many other wonderful artists, for free on the Constellation Records website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
