any Ambient (IDM) heads in here? Need recommendations

[sixamsedna]

I've depleted my ambient producers list and want recommendations that are in vein of these tunes below.




the distant / futuristic / cold / melancholic type of IDM

just so we're clear I'm aware of Proem, Lusine, Arovane, Mr Projectile (MERCK label, etc) as far as IDM in this vein goes.

Thanks

checked out an album, tbh didnt really click with me but i thought it was kinda interesting
can you recommend something?

[deadly_habit]

Well if you want something similar to Arovane, Tycho is kinda up that alley, but more in the BoC vein if you've never scoped his stuff.
Dirk Geiger, Ulrich Schnauss, Bersarin Quartett, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Jacob Newman & Deven Underwood, Lustmord, Raison d'être, Tim Hecker, Jemapur, Murcof
Check out the Port-Royal - Flared Up Remix Album

Some are more dark ambient and drone, and others more leaning IDM, but that should be a list you can find something on.
Honestly a good way to discover some new stuff is http://www.pandora.com/

R/Elet is by far my favorite Arovane production. I love this dude's sound, it's just so melancholic, and nostalgic, distant galaxies type of sounds that really appeal to me.

esfandyar ; some of those I've heard already, it's a pretty big list though - maybe one or two you can pinpoint that are close to the tunes I posted above? If you can narrow it down...

joeki : good call on 36, not bad, I heard his album Hollow when it came out, actually it was way too much of a downer for me lol.

from that list, I already heard everything by; Tycho, Hecker, and Schnauss. Carbon Based Lifeforms I only remember the first album. Which is a good reminder, I have to listen to it again.

Thanks, noted.

Cass
Bruised Skies
Hecq
Alteria Percepsyne

[constrobuz]

make your own ambient, just load up a classical piece in paulstretch.

[vishes]

Also anything by Ishq, Hecq and Jacaszek:

[joeki]

I think most of my favourites have been mentioned.

36, Biosphere, Tim Hecker, Hecq, Secede, Markus Guentner, Bola

I'll add to that list : Lull, Nicolas Sczcepanik, Final and Ambient 4: Isolationism (collector cd)

[esfandyar]

based on your tunes you posted-

i would pick up anything from secede. ANYTHING.




also anything by yagya, although much of his stuff is not up on youtube.

tbh, a lot of these artists' works are not up on youtube.

astrobotnia's few ambient tunes are absolutely lush




markus guentner is amazing.



proswell's melodies he makes are some of the most moving i have ever heard.



opia's tunes are incredible.

[skimpi]

1991
Some Huerco S stuff
not IDM, but like kinda ambient/beatless shit
Vatican Shadow? lol
Maybe Alva Noto too

[tacospheros]

well now i know what i'm doing with the rest of my night . bout to make a playlist out of all those videos and proceed to get stoned as fuck and paint something . i'll let yall know how it turns out

[sixamsedna]

I've listened to Secede and Helios, like I mentioned before I'm quite familiar with MERCK label's artists and its ambient side - so these guys I've heard.

I've sampled some of markus guentner's stuff and I've decided to start with him from these recommendations. The first tune on 1981, sounds like a tune RIGHT up what I'm looking for. Thanks esfandyar!
