Ambient Soundbath Podcast

Look, I gotta tell you right up front, I don’t know much about this track, Anatomy of Melancholy, except that it’s strikingly beautiful, sounds like a lost Harold Budd composition and has a strange and questionable provenance. Through some research I learned that it came from a long out-of-business shop in Boston called Gargoyles, Grotesques…Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #125 – Anatomy of Melancholy

I was listening to Altus’ Sleep Theory, Volume 1 and I felt like I was floating. This isn’t an uncommon experience when listening to the best of what the drone ambient genre has to offer; when the artist has resolved to focus on artistry and experience, letting the compositions be rather than shoe-horning knob twiddling…Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast Redux

It’s always my pleasure to feature the work Allister Thompson. Through the years, Allister has become a friend, collaborator and kindred spirit. I was tickled when he released Autumnal,” his first long-form ambient piece. In order to bulk up the program, I added the wonderful track “After Us” from last year’s Primordia. This is a…Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #122 – Allister Thompson’s Autumnal

The inclusion of Paul Beaudoin’s Shakti here on the Soundbath started curiously, when a variety of Paul’s tracks showed up in my inbox. Either from a series of Twitter posts or from a Reddit/Ambient conversation, Paul knew I was looking for longform works and sent me some things. I was instantly smitten with Paul’s beautiful…Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #121 – Paul Beaudoin’s Shakti

With episode #119, I’m really proud to present the work of Ceramic (aka Daman Hoffman). I enjoy the pure and reflective drones of Daman’s work and therefore profoundly grateful to present them and share them with you; even more exciting is that Daman allowed me to create an extended drone using one of his original…Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #119 – Feat. Ceramic

This guided Soundbath Meditation, Calming the Inner Storm, was not originally created for the podcast. I created this as a free/pay what you want program for my Bandcamp fans, but I decided that fans of the podcast might like it, as well. If you want the music only, you can get that here, as this…Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast – Bonus Episode – Calming the Inner Storm (Guided Soundbath Meditation®)

The Ambient Soundbath, Sound Meditation and what is Soundbath Meditation®?  The Ambient Soundbath has its roots in the practice of sound meditation. Sound meditation was something that I began exploring as an undergrad at Goddard College in Vermont some 25 years ago. With a combined goal of having a deeper music listening experience and pursuing…Read more What is Soundbath Meditation®?
