So far so good with the three tracks. First class ambience!!

A bit sparse on the bells though, or absent bells (Olivier!;).

Requesting bolder bells please and a vareity of bells!!

Did you know you can make a guitar sound like a church bell -

I have to agree wiga, I couldn't hear bells either... very unique track Olivier, quite jazzy/experimental

The click sounds in the background of my track are made of bells, slightly randomly arpeggiated half speed bells if you will. Maybe a little bit bent too. Don't use cheap speakers please. That said, not sure it works, but it does use bells. I was trying to give an hypnotic feel to the music (works beautifully for me, I can play like this forever) and when the bells stop you wake up and end the piece, but as Tubular Tos said, the percussion is probably too much.

I have a comment that applies to all 3 tracks so far. I like them better where they are the least multi-tracked (or using only one hand in my case).
That could be just me, I'm also a big fan of solos that culminate to very simple things charged with emotion. It starts kind of complex and simplify over time. The question is would the simple ending sound so great without the complexity before? Probably not, it's the whole thing. But I'd say I'm not a big fan of pieces that end in complexity, I really like when they resolve to simplicity.

Milamber - think you're getting mixed up with Tinkle and Twinkle. ;)

Erm - should imagine ambient drumming is a bit tricky. How about slow marching snare drum type of drumming

Moving house ATM so the Drums are packed up.
This ones a button masher.

Olivier - I can't tell if you're being dry or earnest.  :D

You'll be getting withdrawal symptoms. Still, you'll have your sticks - you can drum floors and walls at least ... and bells.  :D

Martin - I'm  :O in anticipation of Dark Anbience ...with great bells on. Looking forward!

Anyway I'm going to shut up now and leave you composers, musicians, singer songwriters to it. ;) Think I've said enough. Or as Tati would say - nuff said!  :)

Great Cam! I'm just uploading to the Showcase account on Soundcloud...

I assume your artist name will be Milamber?

Just had a listen and left comments on SC... really cool track and you certainly covered the criteria it had the ambience right from the start and great bells to boot!

Title was spot on with the monks as well... had that enigma vibe....

Milamber - your ambience has got a nice driving beat to it - on both tracks. I could listen to that all day - probably without the guitars though.  :cool:
