For three years now I've been focussing on modular synths, which I find truly inspiring. I did live modbap sets (modular + hiphopbeats), a few glitch tracks and lofi ambient pieces. Something that's always present in my music is a feeling of melancholy. When I create stuff, I start with an idea, start patching and develop it further. In that process the modular always brings meto new unexpected sound territories. Everything is recorded straight to stereo, no overdubs or edits on the computer. This is challenging but also very rewarding - once it's done it's done.”For Modular World 2022 [moos] did an outdoor piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS7lE67WPyw&t=13739sFor this podcast [moos] put together a mix  of 7 new ambient tracks made recently, all except for one not yet released.

He soon found himself diving deep into minimal techno, ambient electronic, dark ambient, and more.The sound of Second Sun initially started during the first pandemic lockdown, where he discovered an immediate love for minimal and ambient music. Through a growing passion for modular synthesizers, flow state improvisation, as well as an insatiable hunger for exploring the creative field between human and machine, Second Sun was born.Second Sun mainly works with modular synths, tape, and similar hardware equipment. His creative process is intuitive, exploratory and reflective, and usually revolves around creating atmospheres and sonic spaces. The result is a deep dive into distant galaxies of sound, fragile melancholic melodies, and immersive auditive explorations.On this week's episode of the podcast, Jacob shares a bit about his inspiring journey into ambient electronic music and offers up some gorgeous tracks off Second Suns's debut album, “Planetary Movement”, which is out now on the Copenhagen based label Petite Victory Collective. https://www.petitevictorycollective.com/So grateful to Jacob for sharing his music and thoughts on the podcast, and thank you all for listening!

Inspired by minimalist art and design, with influences from jazz, classical, and pop styles, Jay began producing instrumental and increasingly experimental compositions. He developed a sound that blends the harmonic richness of analog synthesizers with acoustic instruments, fused together by magnetic tape, with all of its imperfections. From tape warble, pitch motion, hissing and crackling, emerges mood and emotions that are best described as modern nostalgia.Jay's Ambient Vault session features a collection of unreleased music, designed for meditative moments of quiet reflection. The EP uses sounds from the Lyra-8 synthesizer, Elektron Digitakt for sequencing and re-sampling, as well as micro loop, and tape looping techniques. Mastered at 12K Mastering by Taylor Deupree.Many thanks to Jay for being on the podcast and as always thanks for listening!

All the tracks were captured straight from the Synthi 100 as stereo recordings and contain no overdubs. The music showcases both the powerful and raw sound of this rare instrument as well as Kalman's expansive interests as a musician and composer.Mind altering just tuned drones with melodies that echoes traditional Scandinavian folk music flow into abstract soundscapes reminiscent of early electronic music pioneers, but still holds a fresh sound and vibe. Deep synth music from the North!Egil Kalman's playing as a syntheist and double bass player can previously be heard in duos with Zoe Efstathiou and Fredrik Rasten as well as in groups such as Miman, Marthe Lea Band and Alasdair Roberts & Völvur.His music aims to dissolve the brittle barriers separating traditional Scandinavian folk- and contemporary electroacoustic music via minimalist compositional techniques and soulful improvisations. Utilizing just intonation tunings, hypnotic forms, synthesized sound mimicking the acoustic and vice versa, his music explores qualities intrinsic to traditional Scandinavian folk music in ways where the musical foundation is felt rather than explicitly heard.About BlågetenTraditional Swedish folk melody played live on a Buchla 200 sytem at EMS (elektronmusik studion) in StockholmAbout Pattern IllusionRecorded live on my eurorack systemMany thanks to Egil for being on the podcast and as always thanks for listening!

    Episode 58 of The Ambient Vault features special guest Keinseier.  Keinseier (/kaɪn-zaɪɑː/ rhymes with line-flyer) is an electronic artist interested in exploring the creative process and music through combinations of organic and electronic sounds. From tiny glitches to orchestral string instruments, he uses generative and randomization techniques to create ever-evolving, oftentimes ambient and cinematic pieces, which tend to include both analog and digital noises - which are reused to create something new.  In „real life“ he is a trained media composer (who majored in film scoring at Berklee College of Music) and has written music to a multitude of commercials, feature films and tv series`.keinseier lives and works in Hamburg, Germany.“I started the whole keinseier project as a way to release music free from the limitations of genre, style and external and internal censors.Since my day job is that of a media composer, my music often has to meet very specific demands - be it in the emotion it evokes, the length, the dynamic arc etc.I wanted to give myself the chance and challenge of just making the kind of music that happens to come out, given the tools I choose. This has been a sometimes surprising, sometimes challenging but very rewarding experience. In trying not to censor myself to what I think is cool, what I think the audience wants to hear or I myself think I want to hear etc, I often arrive at surprising results which tend to come really easy - because I am not necessarily trying to achieve something in particular, but let the music take me where it wants to go. Results which, to me, are far more interesting than trying to write adhering to a certain image I have of myself.” - KeinseierMany thanks to Keinseier for being on the podcast, and as always thanks for listening!

    Episode 57 of The Ambient Vault podcast features special guest Ricardo Peixoto. “I've been making music, on and off, for        25+ years and started/joined a few projects throughout those years either as a musician or as a video artist.But only recently, and mostly since the pandemic hit, started making music by myself (and for myself as well) and enjoying this whole process of discovery and experimentation.  I enjoy harmony and melody, not happy, not sad, somewhere in between. I also use found sounds, field recordings and I'm an avid fan of noises, glitches and controlled randomness.  I like the idea of being more of a curator than a musician/performer and being surprised with what comes out with the constraints I set. Closer to the feeling of being surprised with new music rather than consciously creating it. Most of what I create is either generative, improvised or a mixture of both.Modular is the main instrument, but tape, mostly reel-to-reel recorders, is also a part of the process, by recording and randomly cutting loops and using them as a base to explore from.” - Ricardo PeixotoRicardo has been kind enough to share a mix of tracks for this week's episode (Track 3 - voice by Tina Jander).  Thanks so much Ricardo!

His works reveal a strong interaction between classical and contemporary music.The experience he has gained as a theatre musician has increased his interest in the relationship between sounds and spectacle; he has composed music for ballets and films and accompanied installations and experimental art productions (Atelier de Lumières - Paris, Carrières des Lumières - Baux-de-Provence, Kunstkraftwerk - Leipzig).  At his multimedia performances and in his recordings, strongly experimental electronic music meets pure, ethereal and simple-seeming piano playing that nevertheless relays deep emotions.Luca has generously shared the following tracks for this week's episode of the podcast to which I am most grateful and excited to share with you.  More about Luca and his music and projects below and as always thanks so much for listening!1. MEDITAZIONE n. 312. NINA3. SEDIMENTAZIONESOCIAL:https://linktr.ee/lucalongobardi_off“Longobardi's works seem to be spontaneous, based on everyday-life situations that give the impression of being very simple but that hold deep feelings and thoughts, and the more you immerse yourself in them the more familiar they become, and will fill you with nostalgia for places and people you don't know.”(piano and coffee co.)“The fragile and intimate piano sonatas are often in the foreground, interwoven with electronic nuances and atmospheric soundscapes. The emotional picture is a fragile skeleton of melancholy, the kind of melancholy that is born between longing and lucid dreaming.”(Gezeitenstrom - Musikmagazin)“On one side, airy melodies and relaxed chord progressions make these songs a light hearted experience, but often in the high pitched numbers, there is a kind of solid melancholy.” (phenon'enom)IMMERSIVE SHOWSCarrières de Lumières (Provence): https://www.carrieres-lumieres.com/fr/dali-lenigme-sans- finAtelier des Lumières (Paris): https://www.atelier-lumieres.com/fr/monet-renoir-chagall- voyages-en-mediterraneeLes Bassins de Lumières (Bordeaux): https://www.bassins-lumieres.com/fr/gustav-klimt-dor- et-couleursBunker des Lumières (South Korea): https://www.bunkerdelumieres.com/Exhibitions Kunstkraftwerk (Leipzig): https://www.kunstkraftwerk-leipzig.com/de/ausstellungen Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit (Toronto): https://vangoghexhibit.ca/              Immersive Van Gogh (Chicago): https://www.vangoghchicago.com/ Immersive Van Gogh (San Francisco): https://www.vangoghsf.com/INTERVIEWS AND ARTICLESFEATURE Inside Immersive Van Gogh: https://www.ludwig-van.com/toronto/2020/08/31/ feature-inside-immersive-van-gogh/Luca Longobardi and the House Concert: https://openhouse-magazine.com/luca-longobardi- and-the-house-concert/Music Makes Art Magic: Atelier des Lumières: https://www.artsjournal.com/brightride/ 2019/01/14/music-makes-art-magic-atelier-des-lumieres/If you enjoy the podcast, please subscribe and leave a review.

    Episode 36 of The Ambient Vault features my special guest Clariloops.  Clariloops is the project of Australian neo-classical/electronic artist Ruby Lulham.Combining the sound of her clarinet with effects pedals and synthesised sound, Ruby experiments with electronics to create music that is unique yet familiar, existing between genres. The project started as a way of bringing stillness and creativity into Ruby's classical music practice. The resulting sounds are rhythmic and calming, providing accompaniment to people's movements and thoughts without intrusion. Learning clarinet through a jazz lens before transitioning to classical music, a curiosity in composition and improvisation was instilled in Ruby from a young age. Clariloops is influenced by a collection of things: neoclassical artists such as Ólafur Arnalds, Max Richter and Brian Eno, classical studies during university where Ruby discovered her love of 20th century impressionist composers, and the diverse sounds of music she loves, from instrumental hip hop and electronica to indie pop and rock. Performing as a classical musician in orchestras and wind ensembles for many years, Ruby started to create her own music in 2020 to find her voice away from the rigidity of classical music.For her latest project, Ruby has dived further into the world of electronic production as she has spent time learning from experimental hip hop and electronic producers to bring something new to the Clariloops sound. Having just finished recording and producing a new album 'Sun//Rain', Ruby is spending her time discovering new sounds and completing collaborative projects with people all over the world.Special thanks to Ruby for sharing her album, “Sun/Rain” on the podcast!

    Episode 32 of The Ambient Vault features my special guest Hiroshi Ebina.  Hiroshi has been generous to share his stunningly beautiful and poignant album “For My Grandma”.   It is a quintessential acoustic based ambient album lovingly dedicated to his grandma. Tracks are as follows: 1. Nothing In This Universe Will Be Lost2. A White House3. Empty Beach4. Two Living RoomsHiroshi Ebina has a unique multi-disciplinary background, ranging from composing ambient music, performing gagaku, the traditional ritual music in Japan, as well as photographing minimalist landscapes in cities and nature. After spending years in Tokyo and New York, Hiroshi Ebina resettled himself in his hometown outside Tokyo in 2018. While exploring scenic sounds using guitars, modular synthesizers and tape machines, Hiroshi studied hichiriki and biwa, traditional gagaku instruments, and dance under the guidance of musicians from the Imperial Household Agency.Serendipity is a quintessential part of Hiroshi's unique soundscapes, as he incorporates sound and silence that emerge and disappear as though by chance. His compositional process is like spreading dots and lines on a white paper and give them some orders. Then those lines and dots start showing some shapes. For him, music not really about being accurate about rhythm or pitch. He is more concerned with texture, the spaces between each note, and how it feels to his ears.In June 2018, he released his latest album “Evanescent,” and “Bergen” from The Ambient Zone in November 2018. Hiroshi also worked with the London-based Erland Cooper, who released his collaborative album “Sule Skerry” in May 2019. From 2019, Hiroshi has been affiliated with Singapore-based KITCHEN.

Putting a mental narrative to it all helps make it make sense to me and hopefully to the listeners. So for this track I had envisioned being ceaselessly pursued by a monster in my nightmares only to jolt myself awake and find that I'm standing in the middle of the neighborhood street barefoot under an orange street light. The lights illuminate the smokey, foggy street all the way to the bend where my eyes finally focus on a silhouette, the monster has found me and begins gaining on me.”This track feels like the soundtrack that would accompany that scene.
