Really interesting video. Refreshing to see something about ambient music production that isn't essentially just an advert for a new piece of equipment.
I took an electronic music course at the University of Illinois with Dr. Sever Tipei. He was really big on visual scores. Rather than writing out notes or chord charts, he recommended sketching shapes and lines to represent sections of a piece.
I love that! One of my ambient friends, Caminauta, makes her own visual scores, and I love the idea. I generally look at my music as sound paintings, so to see someone translate music into visuals, and vice versa. I’m really interested in any graphic notation stuff, so I’ll have to look into Dr Tipei’s work. Thanks so much for the little anecdote!
Great video! In regards to buying gear: Beautiful people: looks aren‘t important. Rich people: money isn’t important People with a 10k rig: gear isn’t important 😅
Hello! Well done video. I'm an old guy (64) learning ambient music. I enjoy your enthusiasm and down to earth attitude! If you haven't already, check out Hainbach here on RUclips. He has some good ideas. Again thank you for the videos and keep up the Great work!
Thank you so much! Yes, I do really enjoy what Hainbach puts out. He has such an interesting approach to music creation, and his use of instruments is always inspired. I’m super glad you enjoy my content, and I hope you will continue to enjoy future content!
Very helpful video, Ben. Thanks for putting this out there. I'm new to creating ambient/downtempo music that I started during the pandemic lockdowns. I feel like I'm just scratching the surface, but I'm happy with the results I've achieved so far and it's been a lot of fun learning and "meeting" new people.
Very cool video! I've been so much into ambient and my own workflow, it's fun and refreshing to hear how it is approached by other musicians. Looking forward to part 2! I love the format of these :)
Such a great high quality video dude! Really worth the wait. Such a wealth of knowledge here, really interesting and inspiring to watch. Super enjoyable video form, keep doing what your doing mate and you'll be flying, take care out there 🙏
thanks for this. really interesting to hear the thoughtprocess and the ideas. also the low level ambience in the background makes it all super soothing
Wonderful and inspiring video. Love the call and response way it was edited. Very experimental workflow! Also love the ambient music in the background. Thank you
Great Video Benji!! thank you so much! I´m a bass player, getting into ambient music... your videos are incredibly inspiring. This is my first solo project, and I´m facing a lot really nice "problems", like mentioned in the video: looking fot textures to reproduce, sounds. Experimenting with friend´s gear, or re-discovering new ways to use old stuff... It´s beeing an incredible journey.
Hello. When I describe my compositions I say that they are Electronic music, Experimental music, or Noise music. I searched for many ways to produce music before I began writing it. I learned a lot from other musicians, and ways they created sounds. Afterwards I used every type of sounds. It's a lot of fun. I like your video. Enjoy your weekend.
Thank you for the kind words! And yeah, there is going to be at least one more episode coming out. My computer is being funky in the edit right now, but since I’ve already done the interview, it should be coming out fairly soon! Glad you are excited for future stuff!
@@ambientbenji absolutely. Not sure if you can or will, but if possible can you DM I would like some help with some music I’m working on. Either way I appreciate your knowledge. Thanks.
As far as I’m aware, I can’t shoot you dms here, but you can find my Instagram in the bio, and that’s a great place for me to actually talk to people and answer questions!
you got the avengers out here to make this video
Perfect comment

Thank you! I already got the gear advert out of my system with the last video, haha. Glad you found it interesting!
100%!

wow wonderful! do you have, or recommend, some material to start with?
I love you you can gradually see the sun set over the course of the interview
Awsome talk, thanks!
Great video!

I find the absolute most important thing when I'm making ambient music is that I'm sat in a hamock.

Tim Hecker used audio mulch for his first couple of albums at least
You can really hear the bubble blower in a bunch of those tracks!
