Do you produce Ambient music?

Space
Dark Ambient
Drone-Based music
Meditative and Contemplative Ambient music
Ambient House / Techno / Pop etc.?

I love this kind of music with all its subgenres and I wonder if you guys want to share your tracks in this thread?

This is not supposed to be a feedback thread and I won´t comment every post. I just want to lay back while doing my work (lots of audio export and other batch-related stuff..) listen to your music and enjoy 8) :party:

Everyone is invited! Musician, Producer, Sound Designer, Developer.

The only conditions:
Please post only complete, mastered audio tracks, no sounds or synth presets!
As I am a software plugin lover like most of us :D it would be great if you could add a short info to your track, which plugins (instruments and effects) you used. But this is of course optional.

Thank you guys!
Looking forward to listen to your music :hug:

This is probably one of my first 'ambient' tracks when my songwriting did a 180° about 2 years ago.

I believe I used a few free libraries from Spitfire Audio and mangled them a lot, basically smoothing out the transients and attack. As always a metric sh*t ton of reverb (Seventh Heaven Professional) and too much Valhalla Shimmer (as a lot of my early tracks overused shimmer and still probably do). Most of my EQs and compression are by Acustica Audio.

It's really hard to slow yourself down musically and still make something that's engaging, but I try to tell a story/have a narrative, plus I'm a sucker for melancholy stuff. Thanks for listening and hope someone enjoys...

O.k. here we go ;)
Mainly used here Omnisphere 2 and Keyscape (Spectrasonics), ES2 (Logic synth), Kaleidoscope and B2 (2CAudio). The voices are from a heavy processed Eric Whitacre Choir (Spitfire Audio)
I mainly used here a cluster 8b tuning which i imported from the good old Alchemy 1.55 into Omnisphere and also used microtonal tuning for the soundscapes, some harmonic distortions included as well.
It once was planned as part of a dark sci-fi project i never finished (as so many things i wanted to do, lol).
I wish you all a nice dark and spacy weekend.....

Thank you so much, Vurt. I really enjoyed your experimental tracks :)
My favourites are the plunderphonics sessions!
If you would add some dark, long reverb to your music, I think it would sound even better.

Wow! This is simply beautiful.
Thank you so much for sharing and for the info about the used plugins!
It´s always a pleasure to see the different approach and workflow when working on ambient music projects.

Excellent track, I really enjoyed listening to it.
This is exactly that kind of dark ambient music I love. I know how difficult it is to tame such low frequencies in the mix but you really did a great job. Thank you so much for sharing :)

Left a comment on SC but I will comment here. Very cinematic. Love the atmosphere and soundstage is fantastic. Certainly takes me on a journey through space.Great work! :tu:
The inner workings of vurts mind are a force to be reckoned with.
music is a need in my life...yes I could survive without it but tbh I dont know how

Nice topic and really beautiful music to listen!

This is a demo track I have composed for the Hive 2 soundset "Moonchild Vol. 01".
Plugins used: Hive 2, Breeze 2

I've been on a bit of a drone kick lately. Nowadays it's usually all hardware but here's an older one where I used some Soundtoys plugins. It's a little long as I kinda got lost in the whole thing and wasn't keeping track of time.

I really like that track swartzfeger! If I get around to integrating sampled instruments again I'll be reaching for LABS.

I´m as well a real sucker for melancholic stuff and i really dig your song here. It really has a wonderful melancholic calm down feeling to me. Thank´s for sharing here.

Hah, some awesome wonderful weird stuff. As mentioned before from someone else i could imagine it with a great reverb.
Indeed, i love cats... :)

Really nice stuff. Sometimes my headphones get a flutter here lol.
