Released an album today with a friend, a guitar/synth duo playing ambient/electronic music. Everything was recorded live in the studio with the Kemper and mostly improvised. Making good use of delays/reverbs.

Very cool project! I'm listening now on Amazon Music. Well done and a pleasure to listen to.

Great sounds and super creative use of the Kemper. I love that. And cool to base this on improvisation as well... cool thing

Thanks! So many sounds in this thing!

Very-listenable and musical for the genre, Torstein.
Well done, mate!
-
Trés cool stuff, reminds me a bit of Eno.

Sounds great, well done!

Thanks for listening guys, appreciate it!
-
Great stuff, man.
Coincidentally, I recently posted asking if anyone here was doing New Age music or if that was just the realm of keyboardists. Clearly it's not, although I guess these days it goes by ambient since New Age is probably a dated term.
Very cool, hope it does well for you!

Thanks! I'm not super knowledgeable about the genre, or if this is even considered ambient, but the Kemper is very useful when going for these types of guitar sounds.

AFAICT it is ambient, Torstein.
I group albums in this category into 3 sub-genres - dark, electronic and nature and that seems to work OK for me.
Examples:
Dark
Devin Townsend-Devlab
Devin Townsend-The Hummer
Electronic
All India Radio
Benge (Ben Edwards)
Boards of Canada
Carbon Based Lifeforms
Cathode
Flotel
Holkham
Jean-Michel Jarre (some of his stuff)
Lambent
Maps and Diagrams
Miller + Fiam
Modern Institute
Monoceros
myrakaru
Oblong Origamibiro
Orla Wren (Tui)
pq
Sovacusa
Stellardrone
Vessel

Nature - I put outdoor recordings of nature here, like:
Voices of the Earth-Rain Forest
Voices of the Earth-Whales & Dolphins
At any rate, none of this stuff is like New Age as I remember it - corny sustained chords and super-basic, slow progressions, if any. Part of the main thrust of New Age was / is? to not be too-interesting, hence why I don't consider it to be like the electronic ambient genre, which is kinda all about being interesting in a mellow way, with evolving soundscapes' being critical for maintaining interest.
