Based in the Frome area of SW UK, a hot bed of experimental audio. 24hrs a day, mostly no djs talking, experimental "music" also exclusively ambient using field recordings, synths, field recordings, mostly dark, brooding, virtually no vocals, occasional verging on noise. Have a listen, get in touch, Bruce is always on the lookout for material to add to the rotating schedule, very friendly and approachable.

Great call on that Eraserhead soundtrack however if you dig even deeper, there's soundtracks predating that with early examples of dark ambient. Going back to the early 1960's you've got the BBC Radiophonic Workshop whose staff created some fantastic creepy/eerie dark ambient electronic stuff. These folks had assisted composer Tristram Cary in creating his nightmarish score for a couple of the Daleks stories in early episodes of the TV show Doctor Who. And a few of the Workshops' brilliant artists Delia Derbyshire, David Vorhaus and Brian Hodgson recorded an experimental album called Electronic Sound in 1969, pressed by the production library music label Standard Music, the bulk of which was used as soundtrack material for the 70's TV show The Tomorrow People. And there's also Barry Gray who mostly did more orchestral music but occasionally created some great scary ambient tracks used in TV shows like UFO and Space: 1999. Sadly you don't hear much about them but they are pioneers that should get more recognition.

excellent video Wyatt there's boatloads of great dark ambient projects out there, i'd like to mention some of them Lull, which was a project of Mick Harris' (ex Napalm Death drummer), put out some claustrophobic and nightmarish dark ambient albums which were extremely atmospheric and minimalist, iirc Mick started the project using only a 4-track, a sampler and a reverb pedal, albums such as Dreamt About Dreaming, Way Through Staring and Cold Summer would be my recs Mick also has (possibly had?) another musical project called Scorn, a lot more industrial/trip hop/experimental project with a healthy dose of dark ambience thrown in Kammarheit is another great example, you can almost think of it as another Atrium Carceri: both are swedish projects, both started off in the early 2000s, both Simon and Par now run their own dark ambient labels and both are very immersive, Asleep and Well Hidden and The Starwheel are amazing dark cold ambient records and great starting points Par's side project Cities Last Broadcast is amazing as well, very minimalist and eerie, especially on The Humming Tapes, that album is a soundtrack to a haunting also, Simon from Atrium Carceri has his own side project called Sable Sun which takes Atrium Carceri's sound and applies some spacy sci-fi and post-apocalyptic aesthetics plus, Simon and Par have collaborated on a couple of occasions, one of which resulted in Miles to Midnight, an amazing atmospheric dark jazz album for the fans of Bohren und der Club of Gore one of the newer dark ambient projects that i love is God Body Disconnect, it's on Cryo Chamber and was formed by Bruce Moallem, former drummer of the band Dripping (which played some weird-ass psychedelic brutal death metal, really wacky shiznit) but GBD is amazing as well, Dredge Portals, Sleeper's Fate, Spiral of Grief, all very cinematic and emotive dark ambient works, he also worked on the Miles to Midnight album, so there's that and kinda to cap it off: SleepResearch_Facility, very minimal, very cold, very drony, yes I have fallen asleep to their albums but that's kinda the point Nostromo and Deep Freeze would be my recs, just make sure you go in expecting a very passive listening experience, even more so than with other dark ambient artists bonus honorable mention: The Unquiet Void, lovecraftian dark ambient project that is kinda hit or miss, but when it hits, it hits The Shadow-Haunted Outside is imo his best work, one of the rare few dark ambient albums that managed to unnerve me, it's a bit harder to find, but totally worth it so there you go, even more dank ambient to check out P.S.: please stop telling me to drink water, I'm overhydrated as fuck, Imma bout to burst like that Wii lady

Man, I love this kind of videos: whether it is about neoclassical darkwave or about dark ambient, I think this is some of the best content on your channel (and I'd love something about dungeon synth). Keep it up! Anyway, putting Irrlicht as background music was a wise choice: that album and Zeit by Tangerine Dream might be some of the best examples of proto-dark ambient. Just listen to "After Cease to Exist" from "The Second Annual Report of Throbbing Gristle" and I argue you can immediately hear the Tangerine Dream influence (well, they were into that project anyway). One more thing: I had the luck to see both Raison D'être and Brighter Death Now (whom I got to know through your videos about industrial) live last March in Bologna (Italy), and they put on an amazing performance. The fun thing is that I was wearing an "All the Dread Magnificence of Perversity" t-shirt similar to the one you are wearing now :)

I was introduced to "dark ambient" loosely in the late 80s, via Lustmord's _Paradise Disowned_ Pauline Oliveros's _Deep Listening_ SPK's _Zamia Lehmmani_ & COIL's _How to destroy Angels_ . But the pieces all came together when _Heresy_ by Lustmord came out in 1990. Man, that album was _dark_ . It scared the absolute crap out of us (especially those of us tripping on LSD) when we had a listening party for _Heresy_ .

Wow! A really great introductory dive into DA. It is seriously a vast subject when it comes to hidden little corners. If this were a Dark Ambient Iceberg you really only touched upon the top two or three tiers of that deathly cold Iceberg. Dark Ambient, Black Ambient, Death Ambient, etc have a very close relationship with the various underground Black Metal scenes of the 90s . I’d love to watch a deeper dive into the really grim obscure stuff from the lower tiers of that Iceberg with the likes the French LLN Black Ambient projects like MOEVOT, SATANICUM TENEBRAE, and the German Gloomy Minimalism of HOEDH “Hymnvs”, FLITTERING “Gloom” and KRANIVM (Italy) “Insanatorivm”. Also when it comes to a truly seminal Dark Ambient release I’d dive into Germany’s NEKROPOLIS 1981 masterpiece “Musik Aus Dem Schattenreich” because it is arguably the first Dark Ambient LP and it predates Lustmord and the CMI label.

Take artists like Pram, Pye Corner Audio, Mount Vernon Arts Lab or Advisory Circle. Electronic Music has this ability to shift and change which never fails to surprise me. From EBMs Front 242 to the musical experiments of Cabaret Voltaire. The history, evolution and intersections with so many other genres is truly fascinating. I guess one can talk for hours and still not cover even a third of the whole topic.

Excellent video! Would love to hear your opinion on the current wave of videos on here of like "you're a tank driver in a nuclear wasteland" or other dystopian themed maybe cyberpunk ambient. I've been following Cryo Chamber on here a while not realizing their connection to the genre in the past. Really interesting stuff!

It's also made me realize my own music is definitely very influenced by Dark Ambient.

Great video! I can strongly recommend Akira Yamaoka's work on the Silent Hill soundtracks though, best dark ambient out there imo. Very minimalist and industrial-leaning.

Shout out to Berkowitz Lake and Dahmer, and more specifically the album Contraception of the Gods, speaking of Dark Ambient

And I just learnt that Lustmord is the artist behind some of the soundtrack on The Empty Man. One of my favourite films! Thanks for all the recommendations in your video.

I agree with your take on Lustomord and he’s the first thing that pops into my head when I hear ambient mentioned, but I’d have definitely talked more about controlled bleeding. From a pioneering power electronic to industrial to dark ambient to new age, all while being a high school teacher, Paul Lemos is amazing. Also, Ordo Catharis Templi should have gotten a mention.
Electronic album from 1969 'White Noise' Electric storm in Hell in parts is absolutely Dark Ambient partly recorded in the BBC studios, comment if you agree...

That was one of the albums that came to my mind first
