In 2014 I wrote the long-form feature ‘Neither Scene Nor Heard: A Journey Through Ambient Music’, detailing my own personal experience and evolution with the genre. I wanted to update the feature some 10 years later, but in the meantime, decided to continue and evolve the original playlist on Spotify, and keep it updated moving forward with new and inspirational discoveries.
The playlist includes ambient music in all its forms, pushing into other genres at times but covering what makes the genre so malleable and personal to many. Artists both old and new. But only one artist can be featured (excluding collaborations). This way, I hopefully avoid a playlist full of the hits, or the entire SAW or BoC albums.
Jump over to the playlist on Spotify, and follow to get updates on new additions. It currently stands at over 400 individual artists and I intend to keep it growing and swapping out music where possible.
Hope you find someone new to explore and continue to support them on platforms like Bandcamp.
