Hey Andrew, just wanted to drop by to say I through some money your way for these Ambient Songs. I have been listening to them on KZbin since you started posting them, and decided that you deserved some money for all the hard work you have put in to giving us this amazing music. These songs and the Lowercase Noises stuff has been the soundtrack to my homework, and has helped immensely. Even though I am a poor college student living off almost nothing, I loved giving you some money. Respect man

[@kckrye]

this has to be one of my favorites out of your ambient song list. #16 is where it's at!

[@cristiandarvich2713]

I've been listening your ambient song's, sounds extraordinary well, peacefull and inspiring. Maybe you can improvise with your setup a longer "ambient song" longer than 40 minutes, because it's no longer enough to meditate, but it's only a suggestion, wonderfull work, congratulations. I don't know if I wrote the correct words, beacause I'm from Chile.

[@Rainy78]

This is one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard in my life Andy!! You've inspired me so much to play ambient music and I'm hoping to be able to reach deep into souls with my music as you do with yours. Thanks!!!

[@poeavor]

This music touches my soul too and takes me someplace that makes me sad and happy at the same time. This young man is very talented. Yes, slowing down is something we all should try...

[@Newi994]

Just had the most relaxing nap ever to your playlist!

[@greggsovereasy]

You're a huge inspiration for my guitar playing. Always pushing the limits of what a guitar can sound like. Please don't ever stop creating these gorgeous atmospheres.

[@darthsbane]

Ah man this sounds so good. When you adjust that pog; it's like heaven for my ears!

[@EcentC]

no looper needed! thank you for sharing your lovely music with us :)

[@AndyOthling]

@ProdigyKimXP That's great to hear... thanks for listening!

[@yetixcoreRVA]

beautiful as always. very reminiscent of your older stuff. loved it.

[@mikelieben4629]

I need this song for a movie!

[@stjambience]

Andrew...love your pieces and this new one too...nice to see that you are performing as well/ cheers.

[@ozboy65]

mate.. mate .. mate !! ur bloody good .. u got some real talent .. thx for sharing it with us :)

[@Rainy78]

Im back and still loving it!

[@cosmogang]

Great job Andy. Love it. I just traded my POG 2, now I'm thinking about getting a Micro Pog! lol You rock. Love it.

[@zorigb6624]

you are great God bless you andy

[@AndyOthling]

@melven62 It's the PGS limited blues jr III, has a vintage 30 in it. It's awesome.

[@BiggsyBiggs]

Outstanding piece of ambient work!

[@flipcupall-stars8646]

You sir are incredible!

[@Corvixius]

To be more precise: I recommend you to buy a Boss RV5, this has a modulate-mode wich is similair to the sound of this artist. And to focus on the delay, I recommend a Boss DD7-delay wich has also an hold mode to loop your music(only 40 seconds of looping time).

[@shaunadcock8707]

So relaxing amazing sound.

[@JosephGhaleb]

very hammock style,,, nice man!

[@Kwetlorien]

Fantastic deep sound! Thank you.

[@AndyOthling]

@DepthWave i think this is a compliment? thanks?

[@jw89]

sounds great, but I was napping to your album and this track gave me weird dreams and made me wake up, but it was good

[@Jeremiah.k]

Beautiful

[@davewallace4]

The soundtrack to my homework. Thanks for keeping me calm brother :)

[@HoveringTube]

This sounds amazing! Simple as that!

[@LedSpencer]

i will get this sound or die trying. giving you credit of course if i use it in any of my music. thank you, this is beautiful.

[@padlockd]

Wow, this is beautiful. Love it!

[@stephenhardy9819]

And sometimes i want the clouds to part, and i want the light to come through, until there is nothing but light, and i want it to swallow me up and all that's dark, and when the light fades i want to find myself drifting away among the stars.

[@PPPEEETTTIIIEEE]

This is what heaven sounds like.

[@rupo90]

Great sounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kevdog330]

@chanc3d I think he's using the plate mode on the blue sky, it allows for the long trails which when added with the modulate on the RV-5 causes it to give it that cavern sound.

[@AndyOthling]

@richardpearlmasters It's mostly the Micro POG which only has the upper octave dialed in. So everything I play is an octave up. Plus delay and reverb.

[@vincentsalcido]

Love the tone, great stuff man!

[@wearepostrock]

fantastic man, great sound!!!

[@darthsbane]

Man I love love how clear your swells are. I guess part of that is your compressor, right?

[@jonatanrobertnemeth2790]

Great... congratulations.

[@acampbellsoup]

great work

[@omo3tetia4]

If we could hear the Angels sing in Heaven it would be this song.

[@ElGbayRGX]

Cool work !

[@callisto2057]

Really enjoy listening to your music. Subbed

[@AndyOthling]

@chanc3d I used the plate mode. The modulate on the RV-5 is way better.

[@BrokenBlivion]

could you do a video explaining the micro pog? i cant find any good videos surprisingly, if not thanks anyway ur an inspiration!!

[@AndyOthling]

@KristineLivingston Hi Kristine, I believe I was in Single mode B. And there wasn't any of the reverb mixed in.

[@AndyOthling]

@LemonTartProductions I would not be opposed!

[@clfurness]

@tubescreamer i used to love playing about with sounds like this, when i had a solid state amp with built in effects, when i was about 13. i got my self a valve amp less than a year ago. but since then havent been able to afford any decent effects. i love delay, but ive had to simple do without it as the pedal alone is a quarter of what my amp cost me. love your music though, thanks for uploading this inspiring sound

[@diegochangos]

If we could take a picture of your brain with and MRI machine I'm pretty sure we would see shining, glowing and blinding light. This is, just, beautiful. Oh, and the MRI would explode.

[@AndyOthling]

@bienbibnito no, it's the regular mono VP Jr.

[@Jamesincolor]

thanks for this ear candy !

[@LemonTartProductions]

Something about this piece leads me to believe that you're certainly going to be getting a lot of attention from labels someday

[@theodordzhoglev2455]

Thanks, for this song ;)

[@kylebird91]

some intense harmonics going on there

[@AndyOthling]

@gannonsamuel It is roughly planned out, but not completely. I just kinda go with it.

[@БЕШЕНИСИСКА]

amazing

[@RSimusic]

someones car horn went off in my street during this, and it being dull through the window, worked so well with this, I nearly commented asking how you did it. then took headphones off to realise.

[@ZionGuySupreme]

Check out explosions in the sky or Ascend the hill... they have awesome ambient swells...

[@NickHered]

Isn't this Persistence from your EP Migratory Patterns?? I love this song!

[@Xevamir]

This is simply amazing. What are you using for the long trails?

[@lihenow]

Great sound man. I am just kinda start to shape my sound. I use a Mexico Fender, do you think is it a big difference to American Fender? Do you use the clean channel in your amp? Do you think EH Memory Man is way better than sound in DL4? Sorry about two many questions. Thanks in Adavance!!!!!!!!!!!

[@smnewthtrblnmnd]

nice tones.

[@AndyOthling]

@greggsovereasy Thanks man!

[@whitespace73]

i'd love to know which pedal (or combination of pedals) is primarily responsible for the trailing cave-esque reverb effect? as always, amazingly beautiful stuff.

[@melven62]

@tubescreamer Is it really that good, even with a Matchless next to it? I used to a have a blues jr (stock black tolex) that was just alright but this sounds killer. I love your tones and playing. I currently have an AC15 which I love but this would be cool, maybe even to run both in stereo. Also hows the elcapistan? It looks cool. I have a DD-5 and a DMM but I think the Strymon would be the icing on the cake.

[@AndyOthling]

@jallstars Hey, I use a Flip Ultra HD.

[@AndyOthling]

@Atlantisbanduk a reverb would be good.

[@jodethemode]

good job my friend. I like this. It kind of reminds me of Mogwai a bit. Have you heard of them? What chords are you using if you dont mind me asking? I am trying to get the whole ambient thing down.

[@monk986]

Great now I have to clean up all my drool off the floor! Thanks Alot... ;0)

[@Oligaga]

Not even the bumerang looper?. Sounds great by the way

[@sebastianbbloch]

How much delay have you dialed in? You don't hear the repeats at all. And at 1:19 - how's your POG settings? As you can tell, I'm really a big fan of your sounds and videos. Thanks.

[@1akez1]

very good! what fx are you using at the beginning of the video? Thanks for this great moment!

[@AndyOthling]

@JOHNGIFTED I would not be opposed.

[@robblakeley3868]

if the next life had a background song this would be it!

[@memoryman1978]

beautiful! i know you had an ac30 a while ago, you just prefer the blues jnr and the matchless?

[@coryphee07]

This is the sound I want. Magical, soothing, and deep but tuned full step down A=432. I would love to know the pedals used here? I'm trying to get that Hammock "Maybe They Will Sing For Us Tomorrow" sound. would really appreciate the input.

[@WouterLorist]

you could write music for sad scenes in movies. fucking beautiful

[@AlphaX1980]

I don't know if you do covers or not, could you do "Live Forever" by MOBY please please that song should be awesome for you to do. Maybe a stupid question but have you listened to "Snowball" by Moby?? I love his music as I do yours

[@PyAdrian]

Hi there, great tone you have there. Just a quick question, why did you decide for the micropog instead of the POG2?

[@kantefier]

I think you should record an alternative "Blade Runner" soundtrack. Your music is outstanding!

[@lcapillon]

WOW, you've got a Matchless now, I love you ! (sorry I didn't see before recent videos)

[@gannonsamuel]

out of curiosity How much is improvised and how much is preplanned? This style lends it self to creative play i like the idea of no performance or recording of something ever being the same...

[@BrokenBlivion]

@tubescreamer yo I absolutely love your sounds and I've done some pretty good ambient songs...but I just started recording...anyway I have the RV-5 dd, the ernieball jr volume pedal, the line 6 dl-4, the boss dd-7, boss tuner, god 2 morpheus, and the fulltone fulldrive 2 non-mosfet. SOOO u use the pog pedal...how is that pedal, cause every video i look at they're always talking about dry tone comparison and sub harmonix but i thought it was a harmonix pedal for high pitch sounds what does it do?

[@mattaio26]

1:18 The tone!!!

[@AndyOthling]

@muggle911 yeah.

[@alexandreluizalves]

fuckingly dreadfully amazingly beautiful music

[@melven62]

Sounds killer! What's the red amp? A Texas red blues jr?

[@RichardGreenCreative]

How do you get the sound you use for the first bit with the VP and that? Be awesome if you could send me on my way to finding out? Would really appreciate it

[@RichardGreenCreative]

@tubescreamer Ah that's great! Thanks for commenting back to me :)

[@stephenhardy9819]

Sometimes the clouds part, and the light comes through, and i don't need you

[@AndyOthling]

@Atlantisbanduk All my guitar, nothing pre recorded.

[@AndyOthling]

@improvisation07 Timefactor is in need of repair. I don't feel any desire for the Timeline at this point.

[@lihenow]

Hey man, just one more question, do you get good sustain on Diamond Compressor? I am currently use BOSS cs3 and I really don't like what it does to the tone.

[@AndyOthling]

@rokomichi funny you should say that!

[@chanc3d]

what reverb type are you using on the blue sky? I have a wet reverb and I'm looking for a reverb to go along with it and I'm going between the blue sky and rv-5. Does the modulate on the blue sky compare to the rv-5 well?

[@Andikay987]

@lihenow I've recently got rid of my CS-3 for the same reason. It just didn't sound right somehow and I couldn't find a setting that made much difference with it. I know compression is quite a subjective 'effect' but I find that I'm much happier with my new Rothwell Love Squeeze. I don't know how it stacks up against a Diamond compressor, but it certainly beat a lot of other high end pedals in the same price bracket. May be worth a look.

[@Rainy78]

Where Have You Been Andy??? We Need More Juice ;-)

[@TheResonating]

lol I was listening to my ambient songs I made and I forgot I clicked on this video and as im doing my homework I'm thinking " WOW I really sound good!" and then I look to see which song it was and im like " wow.....lol this is andrew's song isnt it?"

[@SubtleDominance]

How is there a droning backing sound for the entire thing? (: Are the repeats of the delay and the space in the reverb that high?
