Hello (from the isle of Lewis in the north of Scotland)

[The Lonely Bell]

Hello everyone.

My name is Ali. I live on the isle of Lewis in the north of Scotland.

I just wanted to introduce myself and say Hello. I was pleasantly surprised to find a forum dedicated to ambient music. Personally, I find it difficult finding people who have a love and passion for ambient music (or even a basic appreciation of it). So I'm glad I stumbled upon this forum.
I love music of all kinds (ambient being only one branch of my taste) and I also love books, nature, hiking/walking, movies, food/cooking, art, photography... solitary things.

I also write my own ambient music under the name The Lonely Bell - www.thelonelybell.bandcamp.com

I have other non-ambient music projects too that probably wouldn't be as relevant to this forum...

Thank you,
-Ali

Hi Ali,

Good to see you here, yeah, certainly plenty of people with a passion for ambient here.

Just listened to a couple of your tracks, good stuff indeed. Thought Winters Curse was pretty stunning, love the guitar on it a lot, nice development of the track too. I'll give your non-ambient stuff a go when I get time, labels like postrock and noise will get me listening every time.

Welcome! I'm glad you found us, sounds like you'll fit right in here. On my way to have a listen to your music :listening:

Hey

I just came across this forum last month, I am enjoying it so far it's pretty low key and supportive. I think that there a lot here that have non-ambient projects as well, so I don't think your alone in this. Listening to some Vapour Night nice blending of styles. I would suggest joining in on the challenges, seems to be the most active part of the forum.

Welcome!

I have to know though; Who is this Isle of Lewis named after?

Jerry or CS?

Or was it Huey?

:biggrin:

Hello and welcome to AO. You live in a very special part of the world. One of my great ambitions is to one day visit Leòdhas and spend some time there and in the other isles of the Hebrides. My wife fears that if/when I do get there I won't leave. It is a place that inspires ambient music and is a photographer's dream.
Looking forward to hearing your music.
