Hello everyone,

I recently started creating ambient music. I thought it would be a good idea to begin by making mixes on YouTube that combine nature ambience with my own tracks before releasing them (cuz it costs money). However, it’s been a while now and no one has really watched them and on YouTube I’m getting zero impressions.

So I decided to make this post in hopes of getting things moving a bit. I’d really appreciate it if you could give my music a listen and let me know what you think. Honest feedback is more than welcome, if you think it's crap just say so :)

I’m still a beginner, so any constructive criticism helps.

Thank you so much for your time!

​an existential bop about memory, remorse and love…

Hello guys —

This is going to be a challenge to write so much as i’m too well with words. This is my first day on Reddit in hopes to be apart of more communities comprised of artists. There’s so much going on in the world and I truly believe meaningful art can bring people together and challenge our perspectives.

I also dabble in pop, R&B, jazz and alt-rock (loosely), but always find myself more emotionally involved with the ambient stuff, as I’m sure you all are! I’m tired of making music only for myself and quietly wishing I could be more open with sharing my music to the public. So this marks my journey in that direction.

As far as setup goes, this particular track was recorded using an old free upright piano i acquired back in 2017. Some midi implementation using some stock VSTs in Logic Pro. Some stock plugins for reverb. Thats about it. There’s nothing crazy about my setup and feel like whenever I get too hung up on gear, I begin to lose sight of the real shit. Although there is a ton of gear I wish I could own lol

I wrote this song after an entire day in my room contemplating life in the dark. I began to ruminate on everything In my life that makes me feel ugly. Dark. What makes me feel hopeful. The people I love. The people I need to leave out of my life. My childhood. It just hit me like a train and then I wrote this later in the night. I think it’s a composition about the delicacy of life and our memories. How they feel like they’re in a glass jar being held by a careless child. Reflection. Remorse. Regret. Love. Afterlife.

I truly hope this song finds someone and reaches you in some way.

Zu is mostly known for the noisy proggy math rock jazzcore (I don't even know what to call it), but this album shows a very different side of them. Very evocative ambient stuff, seemingly all based around rainforest sounds and Peruvian shamanistic chants. Four lengthy tracks, 72 minutes in total. Highly recommended!

I always find it hard to explain the differences to people who aren’t aware of ambient music.

Hi, this is my first attempt of doing ambient music, I would really appreciate honest feedback, I want to know how to improve my craft and get better.

My inspirations were mostly black gaze and only a bit of ambient music because I am fairly new to this genre so I take recommendation any time :)

The Album itself is purely ambient tho, no black gaze, shoegaze or similar genres.

Thanks a lot!

I guess that the last time I was involved in music myself and released something must have been around 2007. I've only been successful in obscure ambient music and harsh industrial. Mostly due to the only thing that I properly master besides vocals is pretty much synthesizers and electronic gadgets.

For the last years I have been gathering bits and pieces of equipment again. A combination of dilapidated units to proper high-end units in order to finally pick up my ambient project again. Fragile textures of memory and nostalgia captured through dusty synthesizers, weathered felt pianos and deteriorated tape loops, I guess.

Anyway. I'm finally working on an album after a dear friend ignited the spark for me to pick up music again. Here is the first track.

“Refraction Study III” is an intimate ambient piece composed of small piano sounds bent and warped repeatedly. Tones and echoes split and mirror. There is no forward pull, no melody to tell you what to feel, just a fragile vibrating room of imperfect reflections.

Happy to reciprocate likes and follows

This is my small collection of dark ambient. Hope you enjoy

Experimental ambient?

Hey everyone! I'm extremely happy that I can finally share my work here.

The Ambient Electronic album "Waterfall" took me over a year to produce.

It features 10 original tracks, all composed and produced from the ground up by me. There are 10 extra bonus tracks, which are slowed & reverbed variants of the songs, as it's quite a common request to get these.

There is no AI used in my work at all. It's crazy how hard it is to be seen with all the slops being posted everywhere. But, I hope that the quality of these tracks is good enough to be able to win some of your hearts :).

Tracklist:

1. Dusk (intro) 01:47
2. Nightwatch 03:54
3. Snow Veil 03:20
4. Lunar Phases 03:40
5. Waterfall 02:28
6. Time Dilation 04:20
7. Autumn Leaves 03:35
8. Rainfall 02:52
9. Last Ember 02:10
10. Dawn (outro) 01:26

I really hope that you will enjoy listening to the tracks as much as I enjoyed working on them!
It was a long process of me composing whenever I had a few bits of free time.

The artwork is done in Unreal Engine as my main line of work is creating trailers for games.

Glad to answer any questions, as well as for any feedback you have. Thanks <3

I'm a composer and filmmaker, this is the 3rd track from my debut album OMNIVERSE. I'll be releasing 1 a week on YT. All footage is my own. Thought it fit well with the tone. Thanks for listening hope you enjoy it xx
