Thanks!https://linktr.ee/brianeverettmillerEpisode 69 of The Ambient Vault podcast features special guest Taylor McMillen.  Taylor is an artist based in Nashville who came up as a multi-instrumentalist in bands before deciding to pursue his deep love of quiet and contemplative sounds. He is currently in the middle of a 6 album project for this year, one every month from July to December.  Taylor made this track using generative sequencing to trigger tape-saturated synth sound. His aim was to create something that could be looped endlessly without getting too redundant, but also not necessarily “progressing.” A piece of music that allows the listener to simply exist within it.A big thank you to Taylor for making some music for the podcast.  You can follow his work using the links below.  Thanks so much for listening!Instagram:https://instagram.com/_taylor.mcmillen_?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=Bandcamp:https://taylormcmillen.bandcamp.com/

For three years now I’ve been focussing on modular synths, which I find truly inspiring. I did live modbap sets (modular + hiphopbeats), a few glitch tracks and lofi ambient pieces. Something that’s always present in my music is a feeling of melancholy. When I create stuff, I start with an idea, start patching and develop it further. In that process the modular always brings meto new unexpected sound territories. Everything is recorded straight to stereo, no overdubs or edits on the computer. This is challenging but also very rewarding - once it’s done it’s done.”For Modular World 2022 [moos] did an outdoor piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS7lE67WPyw&t=13739sFor this podcast [moos] put together a mix  of 7 new ambient tracks made recently, all except for one not yet released.

He soon found himself diving deep into minimal techno, ambient electronic, dark ambient, and more.The sound of Second Sun initially started during the first pandemic lockdown, where he discovered an immediate love for minimal and ambient music.

His creative process is intuitive, exploratory and reflective, and usually revolves around creating atmospheres and sonic spaces. The result is a deep dive into distant galaxies of sound, fragile melancholic melodies, and immersive auditive explorations.On this week’s episode of the podcast, Jacob shares a bit about his inspiring journey into ambient electronic music and offers up some gorgeous tracks off Second Suns’s debut album, “Planetary Movement”, which is out now on the Copenhagen based label Petite Victory Collective. https://www.petitevictorycollective.com/So grateful to Jacob for sharing his music and thoughts on the podcast, and thank you all for listening!
