Experimental Ambient

Expanding on the blueprint of ambient composers from Tod Dockstader to Brian Eno in unexpected and wildly divergent directions, the field of Experimental Ambient encompassed a wide variety of figures. The style ranges from tribal drones (Robert Rich, Vidna Obmana) and film-music soundscapes (Paul Schutze, Lustmord) to white noise (K.K. Null, Main) and post-punk experimentation (Rapoon, :zoviet*france:). Experimental Ambient made inroads in many genres, including new age, electronic dance, jazz, and soundtracks.
