Jeff, this is the best Brian Eno compilation that exists. And you did such a great job blending between tracks in a very ambient fashion.

Jeff, what did Brian say himself. He must be aware of this masterpiece. 

Jeff, thank you. I got dozends of Brian Eno CDs. But since I found this compilation on SoundCloud all I do is playing your masterpiece.

Dear Jeff, I met Brian once at a electronic music fair and he was very approachable. Didn‘t behave like a rock star. And I am sure he is aware of your compilation - he for sure checks his name on Soundcloud. Anyway, you and Brian would be a perfect 

“It is both boring as it is interesting” perfect statement to describe ambient music

A longstanding leader in contemporary electronic music, composer and multi-instrumentalist, Steve Roach (born 1955 in La Mesa, California) drew on the beauty and power of the earth's landscapes to create lush, meditative soundscapes influential on the emergence of ambient. Inspired by the music of Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, and Vangelis and by the Peter Weir film The Last Wave, Roach journeyed to the Australian outback, with field recordings of aboriginal life inspiring his acknowledged masterpiece, the double-album Dreamtime Return. 

After relocating to the desert outskirts of Tucson, Arizona, Roach established his own recording studio, Timeroom, and in the years to follow grew increasingly prolific, creating both as a solo artist and in tandem with artists including Robert Rich, Michael Stearns, - in all, close to two dozen major works in the 1990s alone, all of them located at different points on the space-time continuum separating modern technology and primitive music.

Steve Roach - Ambient mix (Invisible Landscapes)

This is the 91st Ambient Sessions presented by Deep Electronics. The monthly released sessions brings you the best and the most diversity Ambient music can offer.This month Egor Marchenko makes is debut on the channel. This set is a very special and personal to him. He created it two years ago but released today.

About:
Bio:
4 years I was on a deep spiritual path of self-discovery with electronic music as one of my main tools of finding inner light. This journey is documented in the playlist "Path to myself" on my page. 
I am a dj and electronic producer that projects this vision with electronic music - techno and ambient. This mix represents its final point - acceptance and love. It is my message from Russia during this times.

About the set:
Following my heart i became an outcast, isolated in my room, locked inside the cage of my own mind. But the voice of the heart was always there and i was always listening. Now i know that nothing, not even death can silence that voice. And that it flows through each of us. The music i am sending you is an invocation to that voice. Tune in and let us sing together so that our collective voice guides us through the breaking point we face as a whole.

Ambient Mix April 2024

http://asip.me/isolatedmix50

So here we are. Half-a-century of isolatedmixes. Each, a window into the world behind ASIP; an insight into the inspirations and passion behind the site and label over the past six years, and beyond.

I always set out to keep the series exclusively for artists who’ve had a profound impact on ASIP and I’m glad I’t’s stayed that way. We’ve been lucky enough to host heroes of the genre, legends, new-comers, friends and innovators over the years, and each one is special in its own right.

Ulrich Schnauss provided the very first isolatedmix (fittingly so) but as soon as I realized the series, I started making lists of artists I dreamt would contribute, and bvdub was up top. Brock’s music is unique, and as close to perfection in my world, striking a balance of euphoria, emotion and musical progression in every production.

Many of you would have heard Brock’s music if you follow this site in any shape or form, but I’m pretty sure there’s lots of who you haven’t heard a mix from Brock – they’re as rare as they come.

Brock turned me down a few times before agreeing to do this mix. Mainly because a mix to him, isn’t about sitting down for hours, maybe days and carefully crafting an hour-long journey (like it is for most of us). For Brock, he needs to be in the right state of mind; the right period in his life. Mixes zap him of energy, and if the inspiration isn’t there he wont force it.

Let’s just say the stars aligned on this one. Some true inspiration that led to the mix; an emotional moment that unfurled; and a unique and original approach, led to Brock pouring his energy into a personal journey in the most unforgettable and special way possible.

Thanks to Brock for this rare opportunity and insight into his world and to everyone who has contributed, listened, commented and downloaded the series so far. Here’s to the next 50.

Origines Vol. 01: Ambient Album for the Ocean ♫

Saisons Musique artists coming together for Marine Life Preservation

Dear Friends and Ocean Lovers,

This Earth Day, we are excited to share Origines Vol. 01: Ambient Album for the Ocean, a fundraiser with 100% of net proceeds from Bandcamp sales supporting BC Whales and their marine conservation efforts.

Curated by Kora and Saisons Musique, Origines brings together diverse artists from around the world united by a common purpose: to honour and protect our oceans. The title reflects the profound truth that all life on Earth originated from the ocean—we are all connected to the water womb that birthed life itself.

The album features stunning visual art by Ioana Todosia: "Estero" Cyanotype textile print created on Pacific Coast of Oaxaca, MX. Ioana creates sun prints by dipping cloth into the ocean, allowing nature itself to create the art—capturing the traces where tide meets shore.

From Montreal to Oaxaca, Australia to Argentina, this international soundscape celebrates our global community while serving as both an ambient journey and a call to action. Each track is designed to foster reconnection—within ourselves, with each other, and with our planet, offering moments of reflection, resilience, and renewal.

The artists behind Origines believe in the power of art to inspire change. Together, we keep hope we can make a difference in protecting the oceans and the majestic beings that call them home.

Heartfelt thanks to Mathilde for her amazing research in selecting the right foundation, Elise for her help with project coordination and Elle for the marine life footage she documented oversea.

Thanks to all the artists for coming together.

Thanks to all of you for listening, sharing and supporting this project.

With gratitude,

The Saisons Musique family!

a little while ago i made a track called "the sparrow", which was inspired largely by the novel of the same name by mary doria russell. more recently i have been using this little piano motif in my live shows which i explored in greater depth here, and ended up making something that reminded me of that earlier track, so i have named it thusly. this one is inspired by the first days of spring and the beautiful music of the song sparrows that i have been enjoying during my time spent outside. i recorded the piano parts on my kakwai ce-7 upright, and used some recordings of those sparrows for some digital sound design. i also found an old recording of some bass drones that i did with an arp odyssey when i had one, which seemed to fit well within the track.

Campfire Stories 101 (A Forest) by Ryan Blackman (@farfromthesun)

~ About The Story ~

“How we view ourselves can often determine the perspective and degree in which we see others and the world around us. Each and every one of us has a view. Such a view, that it can shape the future of others and how they live, dream and look towards the future that we all hope is better and more fruitful than our past. This I believe is a common initiative.” ― Jeff Mills
