Ambient Soundbath Podcast

I haven’t done a multi-artist Ambient Soundbath, that didn’t include my own work, in quite some time…. years, maybe. But with this program, I’ve put together a playlist of some tracks that I’ve been listening to a lot… tracks that I added to the Restful Drones and Ambient Spaces playlist on Spotify. It’s pretty excellent… Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #88 – Midsommer

*Update – My apologies, the mp3 of the Podcast didn’t seem to come through. Hopefully, this fixes that. Enjoy. – Matt — Ambient Soundbath Podcast #87 comes from a live YouTube streaming performance that I did on 5/30/2020, as part of World Drone Day. I did a little post-production to clean it up, but mostly… Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #87 – World Drone...

Ambient Soundbath Podcast #87 comes from a live YouTube streaming performance that I did on 5/30/2020, as part of World Drone Day. I did a little post-production to clean it up, but mostly this performance and the video are the same material. If you want to check out future performances, please subscribe to my YouTube… Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #87 Audio Post – World Drone Da...

I haven’t posted a Soundbath in a while. I’ve been active, musically, but felt like the Soundbath was no longer relevant to folks. However, with the release of #86, amazingly, there were 1,000 downloads in a single day, I guess it is still relevant. And also, I’ve received some really nice feedback about the new… Read more Thank you and stay in touch

Sedona, Arizona-inspired deep sound meditation piece. Enjoy.

Recently, I found myself listening to two long-form Harold Budd tracks in succession, on repeat, over and over for several weeks. Those tracks included Dark Star and Abandoned Cities, two sides of the same 1984 recording called, Abandoned Cities. These tracks have been part of a larger 200+ track Harold Budd playlist that I’ve listened… Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #82 – A...

I don’t normally change up the versions of the podcast, unless there’s a glitch, but with this one, I wanted to try a straight low-end drone, but also keep the binaural beat version, which is ASB #81 – Beta Fold Binaural

Sleep is the focus of this program… deep delta sleep. Enjoy.

This episode was inspired by a recent, day-long, lecture that I attended with Dr. Gabor Maté; the title is a reference to his book, In the Realm of the Hungry Ghosts, which he also talks about here.

“Unfortunately there can be no doubt that man is, on the whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct… Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #79 – Shadow Work

Catacombs in mind, the distant quiet of dreamstates far-afield seems only right to contemplate the comings and goings of being against the red brick sunrise.

Archaeoastronomy was on my mind when I made this piece. I was thinking about the earth, spirituality and the connection to the sky in pre-historic cultures. I don’t spend a lot of time looking at the sky (though I’d like to do more), but drones, mine or others, for me, have always provided a portal… Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #75 – Orbit Series Drone

Good salutations, Soundbath listeners… I’m really excited for this program as it’s the first to feature a guest host. I actually got this idea from Dave Michuda, host of Low Light Mixes, after he asked me to do a mix for him (you can hear it here). This program features longtime reviewer, podcaster, proponent and… Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #73 – This Quiet P...

I’m finally getting around to mining all the creative inspiration I gained from a recent trip around Lake Superior, both through western Ontario on the north side and on the southern side through Michigan’s UP (upper peninsula) by way of Duluth. What an amazing trip! For a trip that’s literally a day’s car ride away… Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #72 – Aga...

With this episode of the Ambient Soundbath Podcast, we’re featuring David Naegele’s Journeys Out of Body, another vintage new age cassette from the early 1980s. What can I tell you about this release? Not a heck of a lot, but I can tell you, people seem to love it and really want to get their… Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #71 – Journeys Out of Body

Ambient Soundbath #70 is another original work in the vein of Parallax Drone; a piece inspired by Philip Glass’ Early Works where I’ve experimented with some compositional devices called parallel and contrary motion that he worked with on that recording… You can hear it in the criss-crossing of the sounds as they move from speaker… Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #70 &#...

Upper Astral is an interesting artist that I found when scouring YouTube for vintage new age cassettes releases. I found a variety of Upper Astral recordings, but when I looked at how I could put them together for a single Ambient Soundbath program I couldn’t get many of them to work well together. I played… Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #69 – Upper Astral

This episode of the Ambient Soundbath Podcast features the evocative sound worlds of electronic musician and sound synthesist, Max Corbacho. Max’s work, more than any other artist I know of, reminds me of the work of Steve Roach, but Max journeys a bit more deeply into the tension of discord and sweet resolve. I’ve been… Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #68 – Max Corbacho

This episode of the Ambient Soundbath Podcast features two artists that are new to the genre, prepared piano and drone synthesist Durango Budd and my long-time collaborator and oldest friend, Michael Goldapper (fans of Ghostly International may remember the KOSIK project that we had together). This is a carefully curated Soundbath consisting of tracks from… Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcas...
