Hello to all,
I signed up here following the advice of seismic.
I'm from this generation which was hooked to ambient by bands like the Orb and FSOL (i'm 46)
But as a kid, i loved hearing synth sounds and music (like Onyx or Space, Kraftwerk of course, and even JM Jarre at his beginnings), now i guess i belong to the BoC kind of ambient adepts...
I mostly come from a punk/new wave background indeed, but always had a wide scope for what i like in music.
I did some dj-ing and radio in my 20's here in France, which again widened the types of music i could appreciate.
I've always made music on my own : first on my piano as a kid, then tried guitars, bass and synths.
I never succeeded in having a band, so i was enthousiastic when i first was able to do some music on my own, with my first computers, 18 or 20 years ago.
Since then, making some sounds on the computer has always been a (generally small) part of my life, and of course mainly ambient (and downtempo) stuff.
I almost stopped during several years and now try to take the time for this "hobby" again.
My soundcloud account is nearly empty and dead : only 3 old tunes (not exactly finished or optimized) and a brand new one, which is more of a fun randomized thing i made quickly and which doesn't even really reflect what i want to do.
(I'm on several tracks at the moment, one or two which could be qualified as "ambentish")
Apart from some "big names" (did i mention BoC already ?), i listen regularly to streams on the internet, being ambient, idm, drones etc...
Oh and on forums i'm more a reader than a poster
