How can you listen ambient music? I listened (tried to listen) Music Has The Right to Children and the whole album was just a bunch of tones that rarely change and someone who whispers and says things that I don't understand. I mean, is there a special listening technique for this genre?
>>63471571
The inability to understand abstract concepts is a sign of autism.
Might want to get checked.
>>63471609
I'm not autist, i only asked a question.
>>63471621
um...yeah, the technique is to stand on one hand and jack off with the other hand while you listen to it. how did you not know that?
>>63471571
Ambient doesn't require your full attention.
>>63471571
I listen to it less attentively, and use it as a mood setter. That album is great when you're walking trough the city or reading. I don't enjoy ambient/IDM much when attentively listening.

>being a rockist this hard
honestly, however you enjoy whatever you enjoy - you enjoy it, and that's what matters. (ambient really isn't made for attentive listening though, so you're the pleb. faggot)
just dont be a dope ya dope
>>63471781
Not the guy you replied to but Ambient's always been for attentive listening just as much as atmosphere since Eno laid out Music For Airports, probably more so in recent years actually
>>63472033
Eno himself said its music for background sound as much as listening.
>is there a special listening technique for this genre?

Keep that in mind

How the hell is BoC ambient
i have a similar problem but not with MHTRTC (because i'm not autistic) but i can't listen to aphex twin's SAW volume 2.
the album is so fucking long and uneventful
yea i've even tried listening high as fuck but i can't deal with it.
>>63471609
>The inability to understand abstract concepts is a sign of autism.
this is very wrong
>>63471571
lel i'd call boc downtempo or some other meme genre before i call them ambient. if you can't into music has the right to children, then you should just leave.
I love ambient music but cant get into Mhtrtc, but campfire headphase is a 8/10 for me.
I honestly think a lot of the stuff BoC puts out is really random and it's up to you to interpret what it is.
Boards of Canada aren't ambient
>>63472768
u gotta listen to more of the genre then
mhtrtc BTFOs campfire headphase senpai
>>63471571 (OP)
It's not about the music anon, it's about the showtunes
b-but music has the right to children has a fuzzy nostalgia feeling to it
i didn't even grow up with the album, no do i really like it, but i appreciate what it does
though it unsettles me as well
its ambient techno or downtempo
if you cant into boc youd probably never get into actual ambient but next time youre on a plane listen to music for airports
Boards of Canada isn't ambient, you chucklefuck.
>>63471571
This isn't even ambient??
If this massively beat-driven music can't hold your attention there is no hope for your interest in ambient.
Maybe try breakcore instead, anon.
>>63473145
Listened to Traditional Synhesizer Music by Venetian Snares, sounds fucking awesome! Thanks anon.
>>63473252
Wow I said that as a joke but I'm genuinely glad you like that
I fucking hate breakcore but this band put on one of the best sets of 2015:
https://shitwife.bandcamp.com/releases
and there are a bunch of breakcore communities online. I know that IDMForum has one.
>>63471571
Also this isnt really one of their more ambient albums. In fact it realies more on synth drum beat samples than the rest of their albums. You're either a troll or someone who hates boards of canada for no reason, either way fuck you.
>>63471609
Actually, the opposite is true. This has been factually proved.
>>63472308
>>63472419
dude weed lmao!
>>63473252
listen to huge chrome cylinder box unfolding too, and also from rotting fantasylands by nero's day at disneyland, there's not much else breakcore worth listening to
>>63473278
Also, I liked Kraftwerk, Neu!, Gas and The Police too.
>>63473252
breakcore is disgusting. it's just as bad as EDM
>>63471571
>says things that I don't understand
if you let the language barrier impede your enjoyment of music, you're 100% genuinely retarded
>>63473348
Maybe this just isn't your board

Ambient music is basically for autists who don't have the capacity to hear the silence which surrounds them or else they'll think too deeply about their mortality and get panic attacks.

fixed

Wow what a shit opinion

Silence is not music.

I have nothing against weed. I just can't stand those people who have the constant need to tell you they smoke weed because they wanna look cool.

Nobody in this thread is doing that though.

Yeah seriously, it's not even close to ambient
>>63473819
Well, Wikipedia says it's ambient.

This is a trole, right?
>>63473278
can you post the set?
>>63471571
>BOC = Ambient
Is this the new meme
>>63471571
It takes time to develop an appreciation for textures and polyrhythms. Listen to Playing With Fire, Loveless, and Remain In Light. Then try coming back to MHTRTC.
pointlesssssssss

>ambient techno is ambient
>>63475839
Thanks for the advice.
> "Ambient music must be able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular; it must be as ignorable as it is interesting."[4]
y/n?
>>63477110
no
that was only Eno's vision of ambient, there's nothing inherently wrong with ambient that takes your full attention
in fact that's the kind of ambient i prefer
>>63477110
i find that to be most ambient music, but i dont think it necessarily has to do that.
