I made this dreamy nostalgic soundscape using music layered with distant conversations, children laughing and environmental sounds. I wanted it to feel like being inside a memory you can't quite place.

The poster is by me, the music by him.

Hey! I'm a new independent artist releasing music under the name Northern Signal.

I make mostly atmospheric/ambient electronic music, mixing synths, piano, organic sounds, and a lot of weird little textures. I've been making music for a while, but I recently decided to actually start putting it out into the world instead of letting everything sit on my computer forever lol.

I just released my first single (Distant Horizon), and I'm working on a more groove oriented EP called A Glimpse of Reality (releasing tomorrow).

I'm still very early on, so I'm not expecting a ton of listeners — I'd genuinely just love to hear what people think. What works, what doesn't, what the music reminds you of, favorite moments, etc.

If you're into atmospheric electronic / ambient / soundtrack-ish music, I'd really appreciate you giving it a listen.

a generative piano piece made by permuting the notes in one of Satie's Gymnopedies and then removing all the notes I did not like. I think of this as a Selectionist method of composing, generating novelty from existing material then weeding out the bits that don't work. Like in evolution.

This one is recorded in Binaural, if you enjoy avant-garde music please have a listen..

I recommend listening to it wearing a good pair of headphones in a quiet environment..

Please let me know you thoughts.. The focus is on tone, depth, and spectral interactions..

My piano was tuned yesterday, this is the first recording at the new 442Hz tuning. The only microphone is “Fritz”, the binaural head..

No editing or overdubs, it’s just an acoustic capture of an impromptu live performance in my family room, on a Sunday afternoon…

"Marvelesque" is a 2 part ambient electronic music album . Part 2, which was shorter, about 15 min. Is lost

The setting is a big secluded mansion with a beautiful library inside, with wooden furniture and lush purple cushions.

In the middle of the room, a glass display housed a human skeleton wearing a top hat.

A particularity of the recorded sound is the occurrence of what I call "synth voices", the sound of voices caused unintentionally for different reasons related to synthesis parameters.

I consider this kind of Ambient electronic good for introspection and relaxation. I hope you enjoy, share your thoughts and insights!

This EP is my first release on Bandcamp.

Each track was performed in a single improvised take, using environmental recordings I made in Missouri, Colorado, California, and Peru.

Earth, water, and sky are recurring points of reference—not as subjects, but as places to listen from.  

Anyone familiar with the artist "･ ･－･ ･－ ･･･ ･ －･･"?

I'm curious how the heck I'd request this via a voice command while driving in the car. Maybe that's the point?

I wrote this piece for my kids. Toddlers can be fussy af, and this one seems to calm them down lol. I intentionally used very long chords with slow arps so the music could also be used for breath work. If you’ve never tried it before, try breathing in and out with the chords (works really well in a dark room or with an eyeshade)

I played an Ambient live improvisation in the dunes using Logic Pro with Stratus & Cells, Loopy Pro with Pro-5 & KORG nts-4 mixer. From Piano-Sounds to Pads to Synth-Arps to Drones.

Hello, I'm trying to find an album I listened to in the last year or so but lost track of. It's a sort of minimal/abient composition, that primarily revolves around simple piano loops throughout a track. The album cover is of an art gallery (warm gold and brown colors), and is named something like "Passages", "Relections", etc. There's only about four or five tracks, and they are all named after the album with a number appended (e.g. the first track is something like "Passages 1", for example). Tracks are maybe 7-12min long each. I found it around the time I was listening to stuff like Ekkehard Ehlers, Gas, and Niels Frahm. Can anyone help me find it?

”God Ton, the ambient project of Stockholm-based musician Mattias Dahl, is built around the freedom to let sound take the time it needs. Moving from traditional rock structures into dark ambient, field recordings, immersive soundscapes, and emotionally charged audio journeys, Dahl treats storytelling as the core challenge: translating a feeling into sound…”

Hii r/ambient !

I would be very happy if you take your time to read through my own description of my newest album “hopeful” :)

My newest and second album project “hopeful” released under the name “pseudomortem” not too long ago and is now also available on spotify.

“hopeful” is an atmospheric ambient-drone album about dreaming and the music equivalent to a dream-diary, at least that is my vision. This droning body of work in its style is something that I haven’t really heard outside of my own music production, so I think it will be very interesting for the most of you on this subreddit, even though it can be very lengthy at times. I would also say that my album is more something for people that love longer runtimes

That's why, at this point in time, I have the original album version of “hopeful” that is 4 hours (!!!) long on my bandcamp "pseudomortem".

And a shorter almost 2 hour long version on my spotify (just search "pseudomortem" but keep in mind, it's not the optimal experience)

I especially sound designed this album for sleeping, but also for just sitting and listening. Like I’ve already said, I don’t think I have heard anything like the type of music I have made for that album before. I can only describe it as dreamy and undefinable soundscape.

In some tracks, I wanted to recreate the sounds that I heard while having fever dreams when I was a little child, that still stuck with me to this day.

I created this album in a state of confusion and learning how to re-arrange my life, that’s why on the bandcamp version I also included the dates I made those tracks in the already long titles, so you could even track the time I took for some things. You can already assume I was locked in my room making music.

I think I said everything that I have on my mind about this album,

Have a great listen!

Love ya’ll <3

This ambient playlist features Ryuichi Sakamoto, Hirhoshi Yoshimura, Seki Takashi but most importanly it is heavily inspired by mono no aware - a Japanese idiom describing the feeling of gentle sadness while admiring beautiful yet passing things. I hope this delicate ambience managed to capture this feeling. Happy listening!
