I think that’s about 90% of these guys. Recently when I’m looking for ambient listening if there’s no traditional instruments or if it’s solo piano I usually pass. Nothing against electronics or the piano it’s just over the past 3-4 years I’ve listened to idk how many. Maybe hundreds.

Even with new jazz releases of it’s the same old format I’m more inclined to pass unless it’s a name I’m really enthusiastic about.

Also, with jazz. Recently I’m drawn to solo works.

TYCHO

is good ambient band

I’m doing a Robert Rich marathon.

See you in 2021

Two days on random max

Playlist with his beat oriented stuff meticulously removed (15 hours)

Excellent! I've been sleeping to Somnium and Perpetual: A Somnium Continuum all this week.

I have most of his catalog - 63 releases totaling 72 discs of content, along with the Premonitions 1980-1985 vinyl box set exploring his earliest work produced while he was still at university.

If you recommend any other particular entries from his catalog - preferably beatless, I'm all ears.

Damn dude! I ain’t got nothing to add to that!

I had to go through the albums song by song. I really don’t know his catalog that well despite spending a lot of time with his music.

I fell asleep earlier with it in my headphones and it felt like the deepest sleep.I exercised for the first time in a quite a while this morning too and stayed up late chatting with elph on discord last night.

That sounds wonderful! Keep at it!

I’ve been holding onto a draft of a post inquiring about more non-sequencer based, beatless ambient minimal tone poems such as Indo-Tibetan music for meditation, generative soundscapes, etc. which I haven’t finalized just yet, but I’m definitely interested in expanding my library of sleep music.

Larger collections of the genre I’ve compiled so far include:

• Transmissions of Hearts of Space (1263+ broadcast library)
• Ambient Music Guide Podcast series (55 mixes)
• A Strangely Isolated Place (62 mixes)
• Brian Eno (the ambient portion of his 101 major releases)
• William Basinski (23 albums)
• 36 (22 albums)
• Mathias Grassow (149 albums)
• Robert Rich (72 albums)
• Deuter (89 albums)
• Klaus Wiese (100 albums)
• Harold Budd (45 albums)
• Steve Roach (161 albums)
• Music For Sleep (29 albums)

Which reminds me that I still need to grab a copy of Steve Roach’s new LP.

Once I flesh out the draft I’ll have to remember to tag you - your input would be of paramount value.
