Episode 75 of The Ambient Vault features special guest Scattered Light.  Using a combination of reel-to-reel recording, granular synthesis, and instrumentation from piano, guitar, and synthesisers, Scattered Light creates meditative soundscapes that loop and layer over themselves - repeating fragments of  long-forgotten memories. 

This mix consists of three improvised tracks, created using OP1, Microfreak, Volca FM, piano and guitar, and processed using Norns, Microcosm, and tape. 

Many thanks to Scattered Light for sharing and as always thanks for listening!

Episode 73 of The Ambient Vault features Brian Wenner. Brian is a Brooklyn-based music composer, sound designer, and performer. His artistic practice combines sample collage techniques and electronic improvisation to create realtime sound compositions. He has composed for dance, theater, multichannel installation, and digital release. Wenner is set to release a new full-length album later this year entitled 'Age of Execution.'

His piece for 'The Ambient Vault' is composed of all unreleased material that was edited and sequenced to create a brand new 22 minute sound composition.

Episode 71 of The Ambient Vault podcast features special guest Slow Blink.  Slow Blink is Amanda Haswell’s dark ambient project. The songs are built around tape loops that primarily feature effect-weathered guitar, piano, and synth. Many have described the sound as being one of nostalgia for memories that sometimes are difficult to pinpoint.

Haswell’s latest EP, Imbolc, was self- released digitally February 23. Slow Blink has also found a home in the catalogs of Hard Return, Hare’s Breath Records, Bummer Recordings, and Invisible Animals Records. A new split release with Minnesota noise musician, Stomachache, is planned for later this year as well as a solo release under Marthasville Fine Audio Recordings.

For this week’s episode of The Ambient Vault, Amanda has been kind enough to share a studio recording of a live set performed at Memphis Concrete entitled “Bedform”.

Many thanks to Amanda for sharing her Slow Blink project, and as always thanks for listening! You can learn more about all things Slow Blink using the link below.

Episode 70 of The Ambient Vault podcast features special guest Songs From Tin Pan Alley.  Songs From Tin Pan Alley is a one man band based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Composing ambient textures covered in lofi-dust. Have over the last 4 years released 14 full-length albums.  Some of them in collaboration with other ambient musicians. His music is mostly centered around modular stuff, tape-loops and always recorded in single takes on either a reel to reel deck or a Marantz cassette recorder.

Tomorrow on his birthday, April 3rd he is releasing the last episode of the Standstills trilogy. The album was recorded in 4 days intensive stretch in April last year in a cozy and beautiful apartment in Berlin. All the songs are single takes and with no overdubbing; recorded on a very worn-out Marantz cassette recorder. So, expect beautiful dropouts, hiss and wow and flutter. 😉 The album is released through the wonderful Copenhagen-based record label Petite Victory Collective (PVC).

Episode 69 of The Ambient Vault podcast features special guest Taylor McMillen.  Taylor is an artist based in Nashville who came up as a multi-instrumentalist in bands before deciding to pursue his deep love of quiet and contemplative sounds. He is currently in the middle of a 6 album project for this year, one every month from July to December. 

Taylor made this track using generative sequencing to trigger tape-saturated synth sound. His aim was to create something that could be looped endlessly without getting too redundant, but also not necessarily “progressing.” A piece of music that allows the listener to simply exist within it.

A big thank you to Taylor for making some music for the podcast.  You can follow his work using the links below.  Thanks so much for listening!

Episode 68 of The Ambient Vault podcast features special guest Celadon.wav.

“I was born and raised in Salt Lake City, UT working in film and television and returned to music after a long hiatus to explore electronic music and its place in scoring for the screen.

This series of tracks I wrote specifically for the Ambient Vault is the soundtrack to a film that doesn’t exist recorded with only the Make Noise Shared System, Strega, OTO Machines BAM and BOUM, and a Sony PCM-D100.”

Very grateful to Celadon.wav for sharing tracks that he made just for the podcast, it’s  always a treat and an honor..thanks man!
