Ambient album recorded with Kemper

  • 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 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.
