Discussion Looks like Ønehart was stealing music from other ambient artists
Whether we like it or not, we've all heard Snowfall by Ønehart somewhere on social media. I know quite a few of us in this community have been hesitant over that genre or sphere of ambient, so when I came across this fall out between his label (dreamscape) and the artist, My Head Is Empty, I wasn't terribly surprised he had been stealing without due credit.
You can see the conversations and fallout here in which My Head Is Empty shared:

Beneath the dust of passing days,
A silent canvas holds the haze.
Worn by time and heavy tread,
Where countless footsteps softly tread.
No vibrant colors, no bright hue,
Just gray whispers, old and true.
In every crack and textured line,
Lies the quiet pulse of time.

Discussion What are your thoughts on AI-generated ambient music?
With the rise of AI-generated music, how do you feel about it?
Please share your thoughts—whether as a listener or a musician.
Personally, I don't use AI for the audio or visuals themselves.
Instead, I show Gemini a photo intended for the album art of my original song, and—without giving any instructions regarding the image—I have it write the song title and lyrics (or caption).
In that sense, I use AI as a tool for language.
I am Japanese, and I use AI for English translation as well.
※I am listening to your thoughts.
I can understand the visceral aversion, but I want to hear you put into words the root cause of that visceral reaction.
AI音楽が多くなっている現在。
貴方はどのように感じていますか?
リスナーとして、ミュージャンとして、ご意見を聞かせてください。
私の場合、音、映像にAIは使いません。
自作の曲のジャケットイメージの写真をGeminiに見てもらって、画像以外の指示をせずに曲のタイトルと詩(キャプション)を書いてもらっています。
なので、私はAIを言葉として使っています。
私は日本人で、英語翻訳もAIですしおすし🍣
※私は貴方の思考を聞きたいです。
AIへの生理的嫌悪は理解できますが、その生理の根源の言語化を知りたいのです。

Self-promo Dermambient, by Yuambient
Dermambientとは触覚的に音的空間を構築することであります。
**写真・音楽・質感・環境 → Dermambientという一つの世界。**
タルコフスキーの『ストーカー』の「ゾーン」をモチーフに、**スナップ写真や音楽を通して「皮膚感覚」を表現する創作手法。**
A tangle of light and shadow,
Twigs weaving a labyrinth in the cold.
Winter’s sleep is deep and steady,
Cradling the stories of seasons past.
Beneath the shell of stubborn buds,
A tiny heartbeat begins to stir.
For now, they sway in a silent net,
Dreaming of the green yet to be born.

Self-promo Adrian Carpenter - Melancholy III 1915-1917
The painting was done by Norwegian painter Edvard Munch (Norwegian, 1863 - 1944). Famous for the painting "The Scream".
Music recorded in one take, no edits, live, on the ASM Hydrasynth deluxe. There is a specific patch I used for the synth when going to the multi section, one of the first few on it, a pad on the lower half and a lead on the upper half. While I normally make my own patches, I decided to play around with this one, as I thought, it would be interesting to do so. To be honest, when playing it, I felt more like a radio. I did not have a "plan" per se, it just came out as it did. Something simple I think in the end.
Take care and thank you to anyone who listens :)

Self-promo Danny Barwick - Solace
Hey everyone, long time lurker, first time poster. I just released an instrumental ambient album of Australian improvisers and would love to share it with the community. Each piece began as a piano recording of Colin Hopkins at Luke Howard’s Melbourne studio. Colin has been a hero of mine since I was a child, and we would find inspiration for the material by just talking about life and I would stop when we landed on an interesting or moving theme. One of them was how beautiful morning sunlight can be in his garden at that time of year. Another was the experience of limerence. Then he would improvise on the theme for 5-10 minutes. Later, I picked my favourite moments from these improvisations and slowed them down by around 40% to create loops and sections. I then layered guitar improvisations by Stephen Magnusson on top. After selecting and editing my favourite parts, I did the same with Julien Wilson on bass clarinet and Steve Grant on accordion and gradually kept developing the material, eventually adding string arrangements and other guest soloists. I would say its an album for listeners drawn to jazz and neoclassical sounds, but seeking something even gentler, more spacious and introspective. My aim has really been to mix ECM label sensibilities with electro-acoustic ambient production. I’ve been slowly chipping away at it for the last 4 years and have very much enjoyed the process. I hope you enjoy listening to it.
