SeaFury 🦜🍃Getting ready for Bandcamp Friday tomorrow. I am keen to find some quiet music, not necessarily slow, but calming. Meandering melodies, pauses, piano? Recommendations? I am not releasing anything for a while now since I am busy writing #BandcampFriday
Edvin Malinovskis@SeaFury some of the Black Boboi songs could fit the bill
ghost_shit@SeaFury While listening to a Calexico-based mix, I came across an artist named Andrew Bird. I haven't had a chance to check their back catalogue, but might be worth a try? Could be a bit more lively than what you are seeking.
Let us know what you come up with, please.
@ghost_shit I need a blog to put all the info I got today about blogs and also this info about calm music. Hmmmmmmmm. I do not have one right now.
AccordionBruce@SeaFury @ghost_shit
From our many #AccordionBandcamp recommendations one artist who comes to mind is Belgian artist/composer Sara Salverius
Her two recordings are rich and extremely moving
Sometimes similar to ambient, other times classical organ music or folk melodies
There’s some variety. But mostly might fit what you’re looking for

Equinox, by Sara Salvérius
12 track album
@SeaFury @ghost_shit
Yara Asmar from Beirut is another, more experimental perhaps, artist I look forward to all her releases
Very hard to know which to recommend, especially since you can only sample a few tracks
The newest record is I think less melodic / more reaching as she’s left home for America in what can only be troubling times
I suggest the earlier records to start

Home Recordings 2018 - 2021, by Yara Asmar

Joanna Holman@SeaFury I recently discovered Narrow Skies. Gentle ambient pop with lyrics that are often nature focused
https://narrowskies.bandcamp.com
This ambient compilation is also on my wishlist https://hawkmoonrecords.bandcamp.com/album/hawk-moon-records-volume-vii
Bec@SeaFury I really like this compilation but they do a heap of good ones:
Dr. Figuring-things-aut@SeaFury a bit on the melancholic end, but maybe Agnes Obel? https://agnesobel.bandcamp.com/album/citizen-of-glass
Citizen Of Glass, by Agnes Obel
10 track album
ChookMother 🇦🇺🦘@SeaFury The piano version of "Fairytale of New York" is delightful and would meet those criteria imo.
@SeaFury I’ll be picking up some cranberry virgin. https://cranberryvirgin.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-green-auto

Kerr Avonsen (she/her)@SeaFury I have enjoyed "Adrift" by theAdelaidean & deepspace
https://projektrecords.bandcamp.com/album/adrift
It's relaxing and gentle, a continuous movement of slow transitions; a bit like some of your own pieces.

The Minecraft soundtrack(s) by C418 are both quiet and peaceful.

Stan Stewart aka muz4now@SeaFury I missed your invitation at the start of this month. I would have just recommended my own music/recordings anyway. 🤓🎶🎹
