bruz : ombilicum / side effects : ambient material + music from the magnificent unknowns.
Here i'll write on music found over there in the cloud, material, vst plugs, ways of recording, mixing in the field of ambient music, experimental, new age, cinematic, drone sort of thing. + Every week-end, you'll find 2 tracks from artists that spend their timetransforming sounds into language (woaw).

my week-end ambient pick #06 : Blood n' Tongue

Dusk by Blood 'n' Tongue

This one is from Vancouver, Canada, one among an amazing number of works for 30 years by Mr Fist / Dusk is a moving line with specks of violin strikes on the way, quiet a deep low track with stunning bass sound.

my week-end ambient pick #05 : Mr Worry


Everything is the Same by Mr Worry
A very particular deep sound treatment around medium frequencies, a quite sober play that evolves as the track goes on to introduce some kind of rhythm and higher frequencies. Like the last words of a dying machine.
The guy is from Australia and has a myspace page here : http://www.myspace.com/misterworry

my week-end morning ambient pick #04 : Placement


i think i just love about everything Placement does, so there's one from their latest work - with this usual conflict between permanence and movement, maybe because they are an artistic duo. Anyway...

my week-end morning ambient pick #03 : Jonathan Hugh


there's a very peculiar contrast in this track between a deep low bass and the cello's medium melody, which strangely gives a feeling of self insurance and hope in the future. I can't explain this but it's a nice moment for a sunday morning.
