Talk about good timing, Chris. I did my first track as Ocean in a Bottle (a duet with my other band Distance) expecting this call out while ill in bed last week (Recovering from Covid still) and am just giving my 2nd track a listen back before submitting. Talk about well timed (:. I'll send them both across next few days..

I’ve got three tracks mixed for an upcoming album that has not been released yet- I can delay the release of said album until after the Compilation release date, and submit two of these for right now.

[Sonic Bodhi]

First track uploaded to Dropbox, S1gnsOfL1fe please see P.M. Thanks!

[Sonic Bodhi]

Second track uploaded to Dropbox S1gnsOfL1fe please see P.M. and thanks again! Hope you are all feeling better soon! I had my own bout with the Covid a couple of years ago during the first wave, so- completely understood- during mine, I noticed that everything I ate started tasting like cardboard, among other things. Not sure if it was like that for y'all, but that is one of the symptoms.

Time to get to work!

I'm on it

[Ironwork]

Wonderful! I'm in, with two brand new tracks from Mercurial. Following the release of my first EP, I'm raring to go with this new project after many years as Ironwork.

If you like a bit of Carbon Based Lifeforms or Boards of Canada, I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy Mercurial! Will send links for the .wavs via e-mail as usual. Happy New Year!

[Jim and Jillian Graham]

Fantastic! We will contribute two tracks soon!

Hello all!

I just signed up for the forums, after receiving a signal from a member of the Dutch Synthforum website. It was mentioned that there are periodic Ambient Online Compilation albums. This sparked my interest, and I would like to add two tracks for the upcoming 16th edition of the compilation. The tracks are titled "Deep Space" and "Pathfinder". S1gnsOfL1fe already received a OneDrive URL that provides the downloads for these tracks.

As a hobby musician, I exclusively focus on ambient style music. Already have a list of works from the past few years, and continuing to make more tracks in the future. So if the tracks are well received, there is surely room to include more (exclusive) works for the Ambient Online compilations.

Just dropped off my submission with plenty of time to spare - I think I may be in danger of becoming...organized

[Seramind]

Done and submitted...
Finally found the motivation to participate in compilations again.
