Ambient Soundbath Podcast #75 – Orbit Series Drone
/
RSS Feed
Archaeoastronomy was on my mind when I made this piece. I was thinking about the earth, spirituality and the connection to the sky in pre-historic cultures.
I don’t spend a lot of time looking at the sky (though I’d like to do more), but drones, mine or others, for me, have always provided a portal for connecting to spirit or being.
Enjoy.

Request for Help – Ambient Soundbath Mobile App
Hey Gang,
Matt here. I’ve been wanting to get a mobile app for the Soundbath going for a long time, but that’s a costly endeavor and this has always been a free, public service, so my question is this: Are there any folks in the Soundbath community that would/could volunteer to help create iOS and Android versions of the Ambient Soundbath.
The Soundbath is getting to a tipping point where more of our listeners are coming in via mobile rather than via desktop, so this would help the community greatly.
If you think you can help, please contact me via the contact form – https://ambientsoundbath.com/contact/.
Thanks,
Matt
Ambient Soundbath Podcast #73 – This Quiet Place

Good salutations, Soundbath listeners… I’m really excited for this program as it’s the first to feature a guest host. I actually got this idea from Dave Michuda, host of Low Light Mixes, after he asked me to do a mix for him (you can hear it here).
This program features longtime reviewer, podcaster, proponent and friend, John Shanahan of the Hypnagogue Podcast – A highly recommended and well-curated program. Without further ado, I’ll let John tell the rest of the story.

Theme: This Quiet Place
It just so happens Matt Borghi contacted me about guest hosting the Ambient Soundbath on the one-year anniversary of my moving from a house on a busy main road to a new home, well off the beaten path on the edge of a marsh. For a year now I’ve been reveling in this almost astonishing level of calm, augmented and accented with beautiful night sounds and the whisper of wind coming off the water and through the trees. The night that Matt reached out with his kind offer, the rest of my family was elsewhere, so I sat down at my studio controls in this place we call The Cottage in the Woods and curated a flow that echoes the serenity, mystery, and hushed joys of the night world around me in this quiet place. I hope you enjoy it.

Ambient Soundbath Podcast #72 – Agawa Bay
/
RSS Feed
I’m finally getting around to mining all the creative inspiration I gained from a recent trip around Lake Superior, both through western Ontario on the north side and on the southern side through Michigan’s UP (upper peninsula) by way of Duluth. What an amazing trip!
For a trip that’s literally a day’s car ride away and within the Great Lakes Basin, I had no idea how beautiful, how breath-taking and just how awe-inspiring it could be. One such bit of inspiration came from our visit to Agawa Bay and the Lake Superior Provincial State Park. These places left deep impressions that I’ve tried to tap into with this new long form work – Agawa Bay
Enjoy.

I’ve deleted my Facebook accounts, which included a page for the Ambient Soundbath Podcast and I’ll likely be getting rid of other social media accounts.
If you’re curious as to why I would delete my Facebook accounts, I highly recommend reading Jaron Lanier’s fantastic Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now.
Please tell your friends and family about the Ambient Soundbath Podcast directly, word-of-mouth, the old-fashioned way, it’s more important than ever. If you love it, support it.

Ambient Soundbath Podcast #71 – Journeys Out of Body
/
RSS Feed
With this episode of the Ambient Soundbath Podcast, we’re featuring David Naegele’s Journeys Out of Body, another vintage new age cassette from the early 1980s. What can I tell you about this release? Not a heck of a lot, but I can tell you, people seem to love it and really want to get their hands on a good copy of it.
Ambient Soundbath listener Simon brought this recording to my attention a couple months ago, not long after I had posted the Upper Astral Soundbath, of which David Naegele was part of. These are some vintage sounds to be sure, but it’s also a darker, somewhat spookier recording. I like it. The recording I had was pretty scratchy so I spent some time working on it, fixing the equalization, adjusting the depth and redefining the stereo field to make it a better listen on the podcast.
This episode wouldn’t have been possible without listener Simon’s kind generosity in more ways than one, so this program is dedicated to him. Thank you, Simon.
Enjoy.
