Featured article - What is Ambient Trance Music?
Ambient music is atmospheric in nature. Think Pink Floyd’s early work’s. Specifically the intros to their song’s. It’s the electronica music equivalent to background noise. The idea behind ambient music is to provide drifting sound for your conscious. It is not meant to be danced to, or even properly listened to. It’s music of semi-awareness rather than something you jam to.
Think of the nature sounds CDs you find at the store. They are or something to listen to when you want to relax. However, not all ambient music is intended for relaxation, but those CDs are a very good example. Ambient music can also be compared to elevator music, it’s something to provide atmospheric noise.
Early pioneers include Eric Satie, and Brian Eno. Satie was an early 20th century French composer who created a form of music, that he called "furniture music". Background music to be played during dinner, to create an atmosphere for eating.
Eno is credited with creating the term ‘ambient music’. He used it to describe music he created that can be actively listened to, or ignored. He used the term to separate his music from elevator music, and Muzak although they really do the same thing. The overall idea is to create an ambient atmospheric listening experience for people.
Creating ambient music in acid music studio can be very easy, or very hard depending on how much work you want to put into it. Since ambient music; in general, is about background noise you can pretty much do anything you want. Synthesizer, low bass; specifically humming bass that moves in and out, and other non-intrusive elements work best.
I like to use single elements, with high levels of Delay. They hit and echo away slowly, and the next element hits right about the time the one before it fades away. Sounds like wind, and running water are good, really anything will work. You can use drums or not, your call.
Industrial Ambient: Think quieter Nine Inch Nails, and Marylin Manson. Industrial ambient music uses the same techniques as regular industrial music, but in a more subtle way. A good comparison is horror movie background music, during chases. The music is intended to induce panic. While ambient industrial music is not necessarily use to create tension, the comparison stands. It tends to have a rather strong ritualistic flavor.
Acid music studio is perfect for creating all kinds of ambient music, including industrial ambient. Since this type is as varied as all the other kinds is impossible to say how you should start. Dissonant sounds, droning noise, very low-frequency resonance noises and sporadic percussion are good places to begin. I have created three loop libraries perfect for this kind of music. You can also look to odd radio noises for inspiration.

My name is Ryan and My love in life is music. Listening to it, making it and exploring it. Music really is my drive in life. I create http://www.acidhedz.com to help people learn to make their own music, and to showcase my own. I would like to share my love of music and the joy that come with creating your own, with everyone. Over time the site has expanded to include resources for bands looking to promote their music. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Ryan_C_Murphy Harmonically the music not too dissonant, and the shadings from one chord to the next are often surprising - very emotional, but in a slightly restrained way. Netlabels, promote your releases! UK Phantom Channel Netlabel got a good start with two compilations. But once these were released, I didn’t read about new stuff anywhere I was reading somewhere about Eno’s constant experiments with creating ambient background music scenarios with constantly changing soundscapes. Later developments found the dreamy non-linear elements of ambient music applied to some forms of rhythmic music presented in chill-out rooms at raves and other dance events My favorite New Age music Albums | Among my favorite new age music albums I recently re-discovered Vangelis and its spacious sound |
