I have a folder of ambient music that I usually put on random when I'm working. Sometimes I'll pick specific tracks out of this for background while I meditate every morning. However, I usually put on some Solfeggio frequency based music for meditations which I didn't include in the next three mixes. Whatever the purpose, this is some beautiful and calm music for this chaotic world.

very different...thanks
ReplyDeleteYou’re welcome. I like different, something new for any mood that strikes you.
DeleteThanks. 50 years ago I also used to listen Tangerine Dream to study! https://sintrabloguecintia.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteI did the same, especially their earliest albums. Great at setting the mood and helping to focus on the studying task.
DeleteFirst of all, thanks for all the variety work that went into all your collections, not all to my taste but always interesting views through windows and doors I didn’t even know existed.
ReplyDeleteSecond of all, your ambient collections are, for my money, excellent and remain in a cherished place in my playlists, especially the ambient americana collections.
Third of all, I was saddened to find that the three meditative ambience offerings aren’t available save on Spotify, and therefore out of my reach
and the meganz links aren’t available. I keep going back looking for them and saddened when I can’t access your handiwork there.
Fourth of all, is it possible that you could repost them there, or on the archive.org site, where I’m vastly enjoying so many of your earlier handiwork.
Fifth of all, I hope you get the recentering you’re looking for, and can return from your sabbatical well refreshed and renewed in the joy music can bring!
Sixth of all, thanks!

Hello Sahicurn! Thank you for this great feedback, this is what I always strive for, a way to share great music with people. Sometimes stretching their limits or expectations.
DeleteI'm real persnickety when it comes to ambient music, so it makes my very happy that you are enjoying my selections. I've reuploaded all three of these meditative ambience mixes to Archive.Org so the links shouldn't die again. I've also put up a new link on this post to the unmixed versions as well, in case you're interested in that.
Funny you should mention it, two of the mixes I'm working on now that I'm trying to use to get me to reopen this blog with new material are another Ambient Americana and more generalized ambient stuff - its what's been keeping me calm and focused lately.
Yes, I am finding my center again and starting to feel like my best self again.
Wishing you all the best, take care.
I have a friend who tells me I don’t really know how to respond to gifts (and I consider your offerings a gift to those who choose to accept it), leading me to fumble around with a verbosity of words when the proper response is “thank you.”
ReplyDeleteSo, thank you!
I appreciate persnickety when it comes to ambient, seeming to always fall back on Eno’s definition, which I first came across when I first “discovered” ambient on the A Brief History of Ambient CDs, as furniture, sitting in the background, unobtrusive but still serving a definite purpose.
Your discernment in selections here presents comfortable functionality that is not overly or ostentatious, obvious in its presence but not filling up the room it’s encountered in. Mind you, I haven’t listened to all this series you’ve presented, but that’s how it strikes me.
The unmixed versions are a unexpected surprise, and I look forward to throwing them into a playlist blender to see what kind of surprise combinations that can arise from that, in addition to those mixed versions now on archive.org.
And thank goodness for archive.org, which seems to be one of the most stable places in an often unstable melange of digital spaces, where it’s possible to others to just stumble upon them as well.
See what I mean about stumbling around in verbosity!
Thanks again...
You are most welcome. Please let me know if there are other dead links and I'll get those fixed as well.
