How to create your own concept as an ambient artist ?

Hello “Ø of Ambient” readers, today we are talking about a new interesting topic:  how to create your style .  As an ambient artist it becomes sometimes maddening finding your own style in this music industry full of “copycats” and create content following a strict concept.   You listen/watch other artists and realise you have nothing very clear, so you seek new ambient sub-genres to follow: dark ambient, dreamcore, grey ambient ect…  After a certain time you realise you are not making any progress and switch to a new vibe, forcing you to restart all over.  In this article I will give you three steps to create your style and make your music shine with it, analysing an artist that we previously interviewed: dxstroyed. 1.  Pick your CLFPO Usually artists with very clear concepts follow the CLFPO pattern. It literally means: colour, light, filter, place and object. Dxstroyed is no different, they use blue/greeb colours, soft lights, grain filter, lonely places...

Why ambient artists collaborate with others? What are the interests and risks?

  Hello “Ø of Ambient” readers, today we are talking about a new interesting topic: collaborations between ambient artists .  By listening to your favorite artists, you maybe noticed that plenty of their tracks have more author names than just one. Those are called collaborations . It’s when two artists decide to make one song together; one sends a demo and the other adds something new. There are lots of interests doing that, not only from the musical point of view, but also marketing one.  Here are the main reasons:  Reaching new public. The artist expands his music to fresh ears, that he could never reach alone. This is why little artists want to make tracks with big producers, so they can grow their audience. Creating new vibes. One of the most interesting collabs are usually when two styles are mixed: vaporwave and phonk, ambient and angelcore, digital hardcore and dreamcore. Because it can create new styles and new concepts. Remember, it’s an endless pursuit ...

Hello to all readers of Ø of ambient! Please welcome our fourth guest, a French musician: lyrλmbient.  What is your past ?   117k listeners in 2026. I started producing in 2024.

My creative process is usually based on nostalgia and solitude. I like creating calm, emotional soundscapes inspired by nature.

Outside of music, I love doing graphic design.   What is your future ?  My future album is planned for autumn 2026, I will continue building my personal sound in the dark ambient scene.

Hello to all readers of Ø of ambient! Please welcome our third guest, a Brazilian-Russian-Kazakh musician: manuellk.mp3. What is your past?  I was born in Russia but grew up in Brazil. My dad is Brazilian, so I inherited his natural sense of rhythm. F amily used to call me O menino do Tambor ,  “little drummer” in Portuguese.  At 12, I was introduced to music production through creators like Sr. Sider and PMM. Two years later, in 2023, I installed FL Studio and began creating my first tracks, initially exploring brazilian phonk.  Then I discovered dark ambient with the track “this world is sick” by Antent and it became my lasting genre.  What is your present ? My name is Manuel Ikishiev Kolostrov. I am 17-year-old. I am Kazakh through my mother and Brazilian through my father.  I live in the Brazilian countryside, so nature around me is one of my greatest sources of inspiration.  Right now I produce music on the crossroads between Brazilian phonk and S...

Hello all readers of Ø of ambient! Please welcome our second guest, musician from Russia : .wawøne. What is your past ?  I’ve always had sensitive ears — especially for atmospheric sounds. I was born in Tyumen in Siberia, Russia. My city was my first inspiration in art. In 2024, I started making sped up and slowed versions of different tracks and uploading them to YouTube. Many people seemed to like them which was very encouraging, so I continued experimenting.  My recent release “sad memories” reached #1 in two editorial playlists on the Russian streaming platform Yandex Music! What is your present?  My name is Matvey. I’m 14. I’m a regular teenager. I like photography and I suppose I’m the only one in town to make ambient music.

Hello all readers of Ø of ambient! Please welcome our first guest, musician from Belarus : DXSTROYED. What is your past?  2.6 million monthly listeners on streaming platforms last year. My absolute record! I had listeners from all over the world. I started producing when I was 12, taking main inspiration from rap music and its versatility. While aging, I felt more drawn to ambient music emotionally. What is your present? I am 19 years old and I live in Belarus. I love nature, especially lakes, forests and foggy winter mornings which I feel very deeply attached to and try to convey into my production.  I hope you can sense this calmness, balance and space.  On a personal level, one of my proudest achievements is knowing that my mum genuinely enjoys my music and listens to it daily, which gives my work deeper meaning beyond numbers. What is your future? I love collabs. I hope to be doing much more of them this year.  I will continue exploring different paths within amb...
