Today is the begining of the Sonic Circuits Festival of Experimental Music in Washington.
The festival will feature ambient noise and drone music for the next 8 days (as well as some other stuff).
More information on the Sonic Circuits website.
Just found this one on Haha.nu: There is an ambient / new age track hidden in every Windows XP, you can find it on your C drive here:
C:\Windows\system32\oobe\images\title.wma
Anyone knows who is the artist ?
Warning: I’m speaking about myself here ! 
Well, I finally decided to put online part of my music. Some pieces were already available via some “Ambient” compilations on the Internet and some are still only available via a record company.
As I still not chosen how I wanted to distribute my music I ended up on Last.fm because they offer a solution for artists that seduce me at the moment: You can save your tracks their site and give the opportunity for everyone to listen to them in their entirely without allowing the download. For the moment it’s what I want.
So, if you love “Ambient” music with some “Berlin School” spirit, a little dark and cinematic, this is for you!
The album “Early Works” brings together (well when I’ll finish uploading everything) music made before 2007, I think a dozen pieces in total, a kind of best-of of the old!
Anyma new album, “Volume 2″ (original name) is now out.
This new record is a great mix between New Age and Ambient music, taking in some ways the “best of both worlds”.
What the artist is saying:
Get inspired by the seductive and angelic ambient music of Anyma. This album is a sonic mandala that invites the listener to travel into the deepness of imagination.
A warning from myself: There are some voices, even if not “Enigma style” you need to know. You can buy and download the record as well as listen to some samples on their discography page: Anyma’s music.
DEAF and The South Tipperary Arts Centre announce a new international award for contemporary music composition in the field of ambient music.
Named after the ‘Father of Electronic Music’ Edgard Varèse (1883-1965), the award is intended to encourage exploration of Varèse’s innovations in combining timbre and rhythm in what he termed “organised sound”.
Just stumbled upon an interesting article of the Chicago Tribune where they are talking about the new music business behind the Spa industry, where most of the music played is New Age and Ambient.
Go there to read “In Spa, relaxing music is a hit !“.
For all of that really like ambient and melancholic piano, Matthew Davidson also know as Escape Philosophy, has recorded an album of piano improvisation: A Towering Achievement of Indescribable Beauty.
I’m not big fan of piano music, but this is really good stuff, specially the long piece called “Water against Stone” in the middle.
The album is available under a CC license, you will find different downloads on Matthew’s blog, or you can go directly to the record page at Jamendo.
