Aboreal Ambient

 

I am a big fan of the ambient artist Robert Davies. You can find his music here... https://dataobscura.bandcamp.com/

Most of his music is connected to nature which you can see in the album titles such as A Distant Glade, Lakeside Haven, Earthen Burrows, Tide Pools, Forest Mosaic, and on & on. The tracks are immersive, pastoral ambient journeys that sometimes use subtle natural sounds mixed in with the synths. Highly recommended. 

There was an album released in 2022 that reminded me of the music of Robert Davies by Atmøsphäre & Bålsam which was called "Arboreal." I set that album aside in a future mix folder with some of Davies' music and called it Arboreal. Yes, I know, very creative title. After collecting tracks I finally decided that spring was a good time to create an arboreal mix.

This set is very meditative with slow drifting synths and nature sounds already baked into the tracks. I like how the natural sounds are not obtrusive. They mesh perfectly with the music.

Here are the links to all the music used in this mix:

Cheers!
