Ambient Discourses is a podcast with long-form conversations with musicians and composers who create musical experiences and sonic landscapes in the ambient, neoclassical, new age, and other peripheral music genres. We talk in-depth about topics like inspiration, the creative process, and other interesting conversational topics; and we play a few tracks from their latest album. Each conversation is also paired with an episode on The STOLACE | RELAY STATION — a global ambient music program, where we feature artists from around the world at stolace.com and our channel at YouTube.
