Hey! Thank you for watching this Introduction to Ambient Music. This is a really unique genre and I hope you learned a thing or two. Some of the big ambient musicians are Brian Eno, Aphex Twin, Tangerine Dream, The Orb, Steve Roach, Biosphere, and many more. Be sure to check out albums like Ambient 1: Music For Airports, Selected Ambient Works 85-92, Substrata, and many more.

Brian Eno has such a distinctive voice I love it
I listen to ambient everyday (an almost every night as a sleep aid) for 12 years now and o don't want to miss it
Ich auch etzalla
SOPHIE'S song Pretending introduced me to ambient, now I love it
i personally really adore ambient black metal. it takes the droning guitar and bass and screeching vocals of black metal and pairs them with ambient nature sounds but it also can really stand out with the instrumentals having a much more cheery vibe despite still very obviously being black metal. it's often referred to as atmospheric black metal too, and even though it's obviously not _just_ ambient music, it gives off similar vibes (to me anyway, not sure if it would for people who aren't already into black metal).
What in the world lol got any good recommendations?
Napped really well to ambient music for 2 hours and woke up to this 👌
Gymnopédie No. 1 oddly sounds so familiar. The sound is almost like C418 Sweden. It has such a nostalgic and emotional touch. I can't even recognize if I've heard Gymnopédie No. 1 before, but it's like I know every note.
0:00-1:05 introduction was really well done man !
Oh damn. I had an Erik Satie piece downloaded on my phone specifically to be "furniture music" while I drove in my car. That makes so much since now!
Tim Hecker does great ambient music as well, but very glad you made this video ! ambient music is definitely underrated
Tin Hecker doesn´t make ambient. He makes music which destroys you and builds you anew.
@@Kisuke323 yes.
I like this guy's voice!
My recommendations on drone/ambient music

Brian Eno is a fucking musical Jesus
Ambient Music is my favourite genre, and this video is awesome.
I would love to see other ambient videos!
i really love this introduction to ambient music - it's definitely a deep love of mine and it's so fascinating to see all the subgenres there actually are! i personally really love ambient music that is a bit more classical/electronica/experimental. i'm a big fan of olafur arnalds - definitely recommend checking him out! also love sophie hutchings, whose more post-classical but still feels ambient to me (:
I love listening to Debussy and Erik Satie while it rains.
Curious that Eno did not mention that he was involved with the precursor to this in a couple of his projects with Robert Fripp starting in 1972 - "No Pussyfooting", and then 2 years later "Evening Star", both of which fit into this category of being both ignorable and interesting. In addition to Eno's keyboards and synths, it included Fripp playing through a modified Revox tape recorder, a device that was labeled Frippertronics. Since then, Fripp has used a similar approach with more modern electronics for a wide variety of soundscapes, very different from his playing in King Crimson.
I love ambient music
Hiroshi Yoshimura is my favorite ambient artist with feeling. I used to love Brian Eno’s music, but now I find it to be a little detached, especially the pieces that are composed by computers. Steve Roach’s Quiet Music box set is warm and pleasant to the ears. Saul Stokes is mostly not really ambient, but he does create some lush walls of sound in many musical pieces.
Hiroshi Yoshimura is my favorite too tbh
You know that your video on Ambient music is perfect when it starts with a Brian Eno quote. Great job my friend!
My favorite ambient album is the first godspeed You! black emperor "F# A#∞"
the car's on fire

I tend to put a large selection of Boards of Canada's tracks under the Ambient title, but I'm not certain it all completely fits.
Thanks for putting me on this genre. Been listening to a bit and I'm working on an EP..😊
Thanks man ive always wondered where n when this genre was created....imma look into Enos work.
Music for a White cube from Brian Eno is one of my fave records ever. It brings me where any other music can bring me. So sad i cant use headphones anymore.
Great video! Another useful way I found to describe ambient to someone who isn't familiar, is the music in movie soundtracks that isn't songs.
Check out the 5 Albums to get you into Ambient from the Deep Cuts YT to get further insight.
Brian Eno owes Ligeti so much. Ligeti is the true father of ambient music. Also Satie.
flatsounds somewhere in the distance somewhere towards the mountains is what got me into drone music, i heavily recommend if youve never heard it
I'm so so so so happy that you did this. This is something I got into late last year, and it so cinematic, I was hoping you'd love it too. If you haven't listened to Sigur Ros, I would really give them a listen. Ooh and John Hopkins, though he has more of an electronic flair. I think something great I once read about ambient music is that because there's no interface so as to try to suggest how you should feel (in the way that literature or lyrical music does) ambient music COMMANDS you how to feel. I'm honestly so so happy you did this.
oh also I think it would be really cool to look at how this genre is making money. Not necessarily the top-tier artists who have definied the genre, but the people who are putting up rain sounds playlists on spotify and getting hundreds of thousands of plays. It would take some number crunching, but I'd love to see how that's working.
Interesting insights and I 100% agree with them! Ambient is such a special atmospheric/cinematic genre. Very cool to see someone have the exact same feelings on the same genre and put it into words so well. And I second Jon Hopkins, he is a pleasure to see live as well. One of my favourite performances of all time, so you should definitely check him out if you have the chance.
I think Pitchfork or some other one did a live show of his and it was honestly compelling. To be honest, I think I hear Burial, Wookie & Lain, BOC, etc. in Hopkins than Eno or Sigur Ros, but regardless, an incredible artist.
@@irisl7674 also to do some shameless self promo if you're interested in writing abt music I run a website that would love someone to talk about ambient music!
@@hannah-pw6qs Cool! Yes, I agree, Hopkins was definitely inspired by those artists. Yes, I do write on music actually. Do send me a link, I will check it out!
Are you going to do a video on IGOR?
...wait did IGOR drop? *Why have I not heard anything about it yet?*
Stravinsky?
mchsminers yes
your videos alway broaden my musical horizons... love this!!
I started listening to ambient music on Soma FM back in the days while programming. Somehow that stuck to me and I started to set up my own ambient patches. Sometimes I fell asleep in front of my synths - ambient is exactly what I need to relax. (While driving I prefer punkrock ;) )
Steve Roach, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Robert Rich, Jeff Pearce, Aes Dana - too many to list here. Check them out if you haven't.
I have to shout out Yseulde. He's my favourite ambient artist. He makes slightly glitchy guitar based ambient. It's partly nostalgic and partly relaxing. Wonderful to listen to. He has a ton of stuff for free, and this is my favourite to listen to: yseulde.bandcamp.com/album/exit-through-the-eyes-b-w-procession
It would be cool if at the end of these videos you gave a few albums you consider "essential" or just good starting/introductory albums to the genre.
Love your work
Your videos are pure gold man.
I have a cd titled Dreams of Freedom (Ambient translations of Bob Marley in dub) that is so good.
An absolute mood setter.
I love lofi hip hop
Great insight video. Ambient is such a beautiful style. I listen to it for sleeping and it shapes my dreams I'm sure.
great video - really concise but with the perfect amount of info to get me excited to try some more ambient music out. cheers!
There's also space ambient, very soothing. And ambient black metal, very disturbing at times.
very enlightening 👍
Yesssss
Stars of the Lid - The tired sounds of stars of the lid...listen to it
thank u for mentioning Twin ur the goat
If you guys need a recommendation, please listen to Ditmas by Disparition
Spotify really blessed my ear with it, and it became one of my favourite ambient songs ever
This was fascinating,
There is an artist I discovered on youtube a few years back, that makes great ambiance/lo-fi music. It's my go to when working/studiying, it's kind of quirky and has strong gaming/japanese vibes. It's called "In love with a Ghost" you should check it out!
Thank You.
you should make an introduction to post rock
yo can you post a spotify playlist link of your fav ambient stuff pls :)
If y’all want some cool ambient techno you should listen to Skee Mask’s album Comoro. It came out last year and was widely acclaimed
Thanks, typo :)
Thanks for the video. I don't think Michael Stearns gets enough credit for pioneering the genre. Listen to the album "Morning Jewel" (1980). Then listen to his "Desert Moon Walk" (1977) and tell me it's not Dark Ambient. :-)
I literally use the thumb nail for my “rainy days” playlist
Loved the video keep up the great work👏😭💕
good video i liked this
Treefingers by Radiohead?
MAKE WHY ISNT ANYONE LISTENING TO KHARY. dude needs so much recognition and Intern Aquarium is an album ahead of its time. I think he really deserves it and I hope you see this comment.
Going to be honestly, I get that feeling from black metal. I can ignore it and sleep or I can sit and listen to every note and every cool drum part
speaking about ambient music. Do u know the late Nujabes? i believe he inspired lo-fi music. RIP.
#20 and #3 by Aphex Twin. Thank me later.
Do any of you guys listen to that one ambient music choice channel called the pulse? 😂
Music for Airports is one of the GOaT’s like if u agree
Agreed 🤝
I absolutely love lo-fi music some of my fav artists are Elijah who (Sayso), kudasai, redpest, tomppabeats, potsu, Burbank, halberd and rook1e
Do you have any Spotify playlists for us to follow?
watering a flower!!!!
Mobyyy
ever considered listening to Filipino Music? I can suggest some titles and artists.
mike krol video plz? 🥺🥺🥺
Chill Out
SLEEPY MUSIC?!?!?!
Who was the 1 person that disliked this video?
For anybody new to ambient: If you want to get into some really cool next level ambient, check out “t e l e p a t h” and the label called Hiraeth Records 🌀👽👍🏼🌀👽👍🏼🌀👽👍🏼
Listen to Cigarettes After Sex.
im not good at funny comments

FYI. It's pronounced "I'm-por-tant", not "I'm-por-ant".
Describing dub music as electronic reggae is a false equivalence, and gross oversimplification
Its not unique
