I hear phrases like "this ambient release sounds like winter" a lot, but I never hear of music being compared to any other seasons, which (to me) makes the need to mention the season almost redundant, as "cold" and "lonely" would likely decribe it just as well. |

Not all ambient sounds cold and wintery. Brian Eno and Harold Budds ambient works sounds very summerish to me, while Marsen Jules' Herbstlaub sounds very autumnlike. |

I will be checking out that autumn style. Overall there are oftentimes ambient that reminds me of different things. Yagya's album (IMO) most perfectly captured the essence of winter. |

I didn't mean all ambient, just the sort of ambient that gets that description, |

Aidan Baker makes the coldest ambient I've heard. I agree that some Jules sounds really autumnal, and a lot of Freescha's warmer stuff, especially on some of the EPs, really gives me warm rushes. But yeah, I find I mostly listen to ambient when I want to feel remote, not warm and fuzzy. |

i like ambient very much, but it seems like i'm cruelly lacking "knowledge" about it... missing out on a lot of bands... i rarely associate music with seasons. and when i do, i suspect myself of making these associations because of when i heard it for the first time, or because of the colours/picture on the cover, etc... rather than because of the music itself. (now of course the cover art obviously has something to do with the music...) |
