I’m very pleased to announce that Ambient Soundbath Podcast #91 was put together by somebody new to me, who reached out via the website – Alaeddin Hallack – You can learn more about him below. This mix is very nice; Alaeddin really captured the essence of what an Ambient Soundbath is and programmed an excellent show accordingly with a variety of artists I’ve featured on my Restful Drones and Ambient Spaces Playlist on Spotify, but not here on the Soundbath. https://ia601303.us.archive.org/26/items/AmbientSoundbathPodcast/asb91.mp3 Ambient Soundbath Podcast #91 Track List: 00:00 Warmth ― Essay07:48 – Hakobune ― love knows where17:20 – Andrew Lahiff ― Distant Fragments23:21 – Fading Language ― A Space in the Silence25:34 – Andrew Lahiff ― A Lingering Light30:21 – Tonepoet ― Solar Wind34:47 – kwajbasket ― and then i entered the void to find you37:52 – Max Corbacho ― No Day nor Night41:00 – Oöphoi ― Riding A White Swan Over Silent Lands48:32 – Warmth ― Spherule54:40 – Havenaire ― Brute Camp59:56 – Ishq ― Midnight Grove (Excerpt) Believing in music’s capacity to uplift us, Alaeddin creates and hosts two podcast mix series: Calm Pills and Chill Pills.

This episode of the Ambient Soundbath Podcast, number 89 is special and one that I’m particularly excited about. While I’ve created original music for dozens of Soundbath episodes myself, this is the first time that I’ve pulled in another artist, in this case, it’s my long-time friend and collaborator, Michael Teager. We have a new recording, the first in several years, Subterranean Bearings, that we just released and this Soundbath, titled Vanishing Point, is an homage of sorts to that recording, but also to our deep immersion live performances that easily have gone over two, uninterrupted, hours. For Michael and myself, our performances are deep, non-verbal conversations where we listen, reflect and respond, in the moment, with our instruments. With this Ambient Soundbath program, we’ve created exactly that, a deep listening, immersive performance, created exclusively for the Ambient Soundbath Podcast. If you like what you hear, you can find our body of work on Spotify, but also, you can pick up our newest recording, Subterranean Bearings here. Thank you, as always, for listening and I hope you enjoy this episode of the Ambient Soundbath Podcast. https://ia601303.us.archive.org/26/items/AmbientSoundbathPodcast/asb89vo.mp3

I haven’t done a multi-artist Ambient Soundbath, that didn’t include my own work, in quite some time…. years, maybe. But with this program, I’ve put together a playlist of some tracks that I’ve been listening to a lot… tracks that I added to the Restful Drones and Ambient Spaces playlist on Spotify. It’s pretty excellent to have access to so many great tracks. I can shape the playlists, play around with different sequences and really shape the program to get the best possible Soundbath for thinking and being. At the same time, I can’t do any of this without the artists whose music, when brought together here, creates a beautiful quilt of lush sounds and deep textures, perfect for an Ambient Soundbath. I’ve linked to the artists in the web post, but I’m not going to say them here, as this this audio post is already getting to long. As always, thank you for listening and I hope you enjoy the program. https://ia601303.us.archive.org/26/items/AmbientSoundbathPodcast/asb88vo.mp3 Track – Album – Artist (In playlist order) The Edge of Being – Absolute Fields  – Phillip Wilkerson Planes – Beneath and Endless Sky  – Eternell Do Androids Dream? – The Crossing – Cleveland Wehle Will O’ the Wisp (Sleep Mix) – Remix – Will O’ the Wisp – Poemme Poa Alpina – Substrata + Man with a Movie Camera – Biosphere On Burnt, Gauzed Wings – Ornitheology –  Chubby Wolf

*Update – My apologies, the mp3 of the Podcast didn’t seem to come through. Hopefully, this fixes that. Enjoy. – Matt — Ambient Soundbath Podcast #87 comes from a live YouTube streaming performance that I did on 5/30/2020, as part of World Drone Day. I did a little post-production to clean it up, but mostly this performance and the video are the same material. If you want to check out future performances, please subscribe to my YouTube channel. Also, thank you to everyone for all of the kind words, donations and gracious sentiments; your kind words and actions are the fuel that inspires me to produce the Ambient Soundbath Podcast. Thank you. https://ia601303.us.archive.org/26/items/AmbientSoundbathPodcast/asb87.mp3

I haven’t posted a Soundbath in a while. I’ve been active, musically, but felt like the Soundbath was no longer relevant to folks. However, with the release of #86, amazingly, there were 1,000 downloads in a single day, I guess it is still relevant. And also, I’ve received some really nice feedback about the new episode. Please be in touch, please let me know what you’re enjoying, comment on the episodes, send me a note, because otherwise, I’m working in a vacuum, unaware if this has any relevance to anyone. That little push from a brief comment, often, is the difference between working on a new episode or not. Thank you to everybody who listens and supports the Soundbath. -matt https://ia601303.us.archive.org/26/items/AmbientSoundbathPodcast/thankyou0520.mp3

https://ia601303.us.archive.org/26/items/AmbientSoundbathPodcast/asb82.mp3 Recently, I found myself listening to two long-form Harold Budd tracks in succession, on repeat, over and over for several weeks. Those tracks included Dark Star and Abandoned Cities, two sides of the same 1984 recording called, Abandoned Cities. These tracks have been part of a larger 200+ track Harold Budd playlist that I’ve listened to in ‘shuffle’ mode for the better part of a decade; I had never listened to these tracks in succession, as they were meant to be heard. After repeated listens, I decided that their distinctly transfixing and meditational qualities, mixed with the organ drone of Coeur D’Orr from 1970‘s The Oak of Golden Dreams were perfect for an Ambient Soundbath. Frankly, I could do a deep listening podcast on Harold Budd’s work alone, but I thought that these tracks made for an excellently relaxing Soundbath. 00:00 – 19:00 – Harold Budd – Dark Star19:00 – 22:30 – Harold Budd – Coeur D’orr22:30 – 45:00 – Harold Budd – Abandoned Cities Enjoy.

https://ia601303.us.archive.org/26/items/AmbientSoundbathPodcast/asb81b.mp3 I don’t normally change up the versions of the podcast, unless there’s a glitch, but with this one, I wanted to try a straight low-end drone, but also keep the binaural beat version, which is ASB #81 – Beta Fold Binaural

https://ia601303.us.archive.org/26/items/AmbientSoundbathPodcast/asb80.mp3   This episode was inspired by a recent, day-long, lecture that I attended with Dr. Gabor Maté; the title is a reference to his book, In the Realm of the Hungry Ghosts, which he also talks about here.

https://ia601303.us.archive.org/26/items/AmbientSoundbathPodcast/asb79.mp3   “Unfortunately there can be no doubt that man is, on the whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct it. Furthermore, it is constantly in contact with other interests, so that it is continually subjected to modifications. But if it is repressed and isolated from consciousness, it never gets corrected.” – Carl Jung
