Next week I’m heading to my parents, who live in rural France. The stargazing there is amazing. Looking for some recommendations I can listen to while chilling under the stars there.

What's your favorite live album(s) or favorite live show?

Hey guys, I am on vacation for the next 3 weeks. Can you recommend me some of your favorite sets on soundcloud?

I don't mind what kind of instruments are used or anything, as long as it meets those features.

I'm mostly seeking a sound that isn't too cavernous with reverb, as I listen to a lot of ambient like that already, but that's not an absolute requirement. Just anything that doesn't evoke loneliness or sadness. For me that means anything that combines a minor key, very heavy reverb, and a lot of intermittent pauses.

Are there any artists that consistently have this kind of sound album to album?

Some artists I like are celer, gas, Brian eno, tangerine dream, the irresistible force, apex twin, biosphere, stars of the lid, boards of canada

I have this huge ambient playlist I've been listening, studying, and sleeping to for as long as I can remember. This thing has seriously helped with school and sleep more times than I can count.

A couple songs i like better than others (I by aphex twin, treefingers by radiohead), and I'm looking for some more to make my favorites. Stuff you can really sink deep into.

I really have no preference or limit for the recommendations, I'm curious to see what people like!

-Thanks, Paul

Any fans?

Does anyone have any CD only record labels for ambient music?

this is my piece called The Transitional Period to Pyrrhic Sacrifices, runtime 9:47:02. its released on major platforms in 5 parts about 1:57:24 each, and the linked youtube video is the whole thing in one go if you want to experience it uninterrupted. made in fl studio and paul stretch over roughly a month, and it took 2 DAYS to render on my midrange laptop. inspired by some bull of heaven songs i enjoy, and partially built on Beethoven's Piano Sonata no. 10, Op. 14 no. 2 (I. Allegro). about the title, so a pyrrhic victory is one that costs you SO much that winning it doesnt count,. and so pyrrhic sacrifices are like the things you give up where the trade never really pays off. the transitional period is the stretch before you get there, where youre already not who you used to be but not who youre turning into either, (kinda cliche but you get the idea xd) as for the sound itself, its a ambient drone that changes slowly. nothing repeats for more than like 30 seconds to a minute its all unique material shifting gradually with volume changes, rather than looping like a lot of endurance pieces (BoH lol).

hope you enjoy it!!

I have $150 to spend. I'm going to buy a portable CD player. What records should I buy? I really enjoy Ambient 4 and Music for Psychedelic Therapy.

Hey everyone, just what the title says! I don't currently have a guitar. I've been borrowing my roomate's epiphone. I've been considering getting my own guitar and investing in a pedal or two, though. I have a couple of questions and I was curious if anyone here has feedback.

1. Since I also play acoustic guitar I wouldn't mind getting something acoustic electric. Would that work just as well as a straight up electric guitar? I'm considering Ovations since they seem like a bit of a middle ground. Any feedback about this is appreciated!
2. pedals. I was looking at the mooer ocean machine (I'm a Devin Townsend fan, lol). I mean, regardless of that, I was curious what people think of that pedal. Or if you have another pedal or two you would rather invest in, and why.
3. any other gear recommendations!

Thanks!!
