New Era Ambient by SoundCloud Stories
published on
As a genre term, “ambient” is as malleable as the music itself. On one hand, powered by Brian Eno, Laraaji, Harold Budd and Jon Hassell, ambient took off in the 1970s as a counter-cultural style that tapped into the mystical; as a soundtrack to a world grappling with rapidly developing technologies, globalist politics and urbanization. On the other hand, ambient music is not just a genre tag — it’s a vibe that's influenced dance producers, rock bands and more. Today, ambient music is diverse and multi-disciplinary, acting as a sonic buffer between ourselves and the chaotic buzz of 21st century life. Dive into this collection of tracks — featuring Priori, Lyra Pramuk, KMRU, rRoxymore and more — and discover more about current ambient music.
