The Ambient Music Blog

I’ve change the RSS feed provider  for the Ambient blog. I’ve moved it from Feedburner to Google.

That means that if you suscribed to it a long time ago and you’re one of the 5/6 people that are still using the feed at “http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheAmbientBlog” you should change it.

The correct address is anyway always on the blog, at :

http://ambient.bourzeix.com/feed

Thanks for checking and changing it eventually, the old one will be deleted in a few days !

Brian Eno & Peter Chivers just created a incredible music machine for the iPod and iPhone.

Bloom is part a composition, part a software and part artwork. You can play and interact with it to create endless ambient music as well as its visual effects.

Bloom is available on iTunes.

I’ve missed it this summer, but thanks to StillStream Ambient Radio, i’ve downloaded “Ancara” their last release on the Earth Mantra label.

As usual with those two guys,this is probably one of the best Ambient record. Fantastic sound and sounds, great inspiration, very different tracks, etc… and I can continue !

Copal River is the reunion of Darrell Burgan (Palancar) and Scott Turner (Not Your Average Hippy). That second record is the result of week ends of work toguether:

In the months and years that followed, Darrell and Scott enjoyed several other such ambient weekends, with each traveling to the other’s home state and studio. Naturally, they made a point to record these sessions, and later with encouragement from family and friends decided to release them.

The only thing you must do now is give it a try ! My personnal favorite is “Urban Still Life”.

I’ve just stumble on this artist (Drew Sullivan) this morning, specially on his new release “Priest Lake Circa ‘88“ (you can listen to samples).

Really good ambient music, very rich, colorful, a lot of things and sounds are happening:

Priest Lake Circa ‘88 exudes restraint and repose, yet is so richly melodic and full. While the album draws its raw form from ambient music, post rock and even dream pop, it is masterfully crafted into something that could only ever find itself under the Slow Dancing Society moniker. The album speaks of both departure and eventual return, and perhaps in its broadest sense the notion of “home”. Above all, this is music to bathe in: warm, steamy and all-encompassing.

Give it a go, and also check the other releases from Slow Dancing Society.
