Ambient Soundbath Podcast

I first stumbled upon Moby’s Long Ambients after they were released in early summer of 2016. As a long-time fan of Moby’s ambient work I was excited by this free release, which is still available here: http://moby.com/la1/ – The complete 4-hour collection instantly became a meditational and relaxation go-to recording for me, as it’s calming…Read more Ambient Soundbath #59 – Moby – Long Ambients

I’ve wanted to do an Ambient Soundbath that featured Manitou for a long time, but just never got around to it. I think that I finally did it, at least, partially because an upcoming performance that I’ll be doing called Leelanau Uncaged, in Northport, Michigan, where I’ll be featuring Manitou live for the first time…Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #58 – Manitou

This episode of the Ambient Soundbath features an original work called Parallax Drone. It’s a work that I created after spending time listening back to previous episodes of the Soundbath, something that I’ve never really done before. For some, I imagine, the track might be a little too noisy, or droney or abstract, maybe even…Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #57 – Parallax Drone

Ambient Soundbath #56 features the music of Canadian composers, Mychael Danna and Tim Clement, who, for a time in the 1980s and 1990s created a series of sublime recordings bringing together field recordings and acoustic-electronic sound synthesis. For me their music typified the best that new age music could be combining the natural sounds with…Read more Ambient Soundbath #56 – Danna and Clement

This episode of the Ambient Soundbath is comprised exclusively of the work of Altus (aka Mike Carss). Altus has put out many recordings (nearly 30+ recordings in fifteens years) of lush, well-crafted and superiorly composed music. All of which are free to listen to and download on his website. I once tweeted that ‘Altus is the music that I imagine…Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #55 – Altus

Last “Origins” program for a while, as I wanted to capture some of the early tracks that inspired me, particularly Ocean of Tenderness and God Moving Over the Face of Waters… Steve Roach, Harold Budd and Jason Sloan all had an early impact, as well… Whereas Offland is one of the great new artists that continues…Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #54 – Origins 2

Keeping it short and sweet for this episode with a handful of tracks that, for me, are part of the origin story of the Ambient Soundbath. Artist such as Harold Budd, Jason Sloan, Diatonis and Kit Watkins have inspired me at every turn. These are only single selections, but if you were to explore these artists…Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #53 – Origins 1

So, I have to go way back for this one… It was late 1999, early 2000 maybe, there was a wonderful experiment going on with a website called Mp3.com… The internet bubble was happening and Mp3.com was trying to create and capitalize on a site for bedroom artists and would-be producers, such as myself, looking…Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #52 – Kelvin L. Smith
