A Rainbow In Curved Air provides a torrent of gorgeously plunking organ sounds, smashed together into a swirling mesh. Riley’s use of two tape recorders as a delay and looper is explored dutifully on this record - certainly much more active and jubilant than the other records on this list. , opens a new windowįripp’s tape-looping was actually an extension of early tape-manipulation processes used by folks in the 1960s like Pauline Oliveros and minimalist composer Terry Riley. He would continue to explore this guitar-looping technique for decades, adapting to modern digital loopers as they were developed. This record showcases Eno on synthesizers and production, but especially features Fripp’s coyly titled “Frippertronics” process, where he runs his guitar into two connected reel-to-reel players, allowing his guitar sound to repeat and accumulate seconds after he plays them. Recorded a few years before the first Ambient album, this collaboration between Eno and guitarist Robert Fripp (from the prog-rock master band King Crimson) is an excellent precursor to those records. The band (later named, surprise, the Deep Listening Band) was founded by Oliveros and Dempster to explore particularly resonant and reverberant spaces like the cistern featured here - because of the space, all sounds performed are smeared into a bed of gorgeous tones.

In this series, there’s some deeply beautiful compositions and tones to explore. The big four! In the late 1970s Brian Eno, already well-renowned after a decade’s worth of glam-rock experimentation with Roxy Music and his own solo records, was one of the first to coin the term “ambient” to describe a kind of music designed for a more passive background engagement. Whatever you want to call it - ambient music, deep listening music, drone, noise - here’s a handful of historically important (and personal favorite) albums to introduce you to this rich vein of music in these chaotic times.īrian Eno, Harold Budd, Laraaji: Ambient 1/2/3/4 Luckily, there are many musicians working tirelessly to fully engage those gaps of time and silence with dense, gorgeous, contemplative beds of sound.
