A place for the broad spectrum of ambient music and ambient music creators to share music they love, their own ambient music, tips, production techniques, etc.

The sidebar says "for creators." I didn't find a more appropriate community, so I apologize if this is not the right forum.

Does anyone have suggestions for relaxed, yet upbeat, ambient a-la Deep Breakfast? Most of the content I bring into the house gets a complaint about "putting her to sleep," or the other extreme, being too ... I don't know ... abstract? Disconcordant? Clashy?

She likes Deep Breakfast, and No Blue Thing to a lesser degree. Most Mannheim Steamroller gets approval, although I'd barely put that in the Ambient category. So I'm looking for more music like Deep Breakfast -- low key, positive, but not "meditation music."

I appreciate any suggestions! Thank you.

Ooooo, I love Deep Breakfast so much. I'd recommend some Patrick O'Hearn. For more modern stuff maybe some Gaussian Curve, Emeralds, and Eyeliner.

This came up in my music feed at work today, and it might fit the bill. Somewhere between dark ambient and deep house, with just enough worldbeat accents to be a bit too positive for me... Sorry for the ymusic link, it's just a youtube link in disguise. https://ymusicapp.com/watch?v=0ElS7t0SGE8

They're pretty consistent with that beat; the rainforest accents are nice.

I like it! It has a good chance of being well-received.

Thank you!
