One of the most practical uses for ambient music, at least to me, is its ability to subtly affect and augment each moment, mundane or otherwise.
Radboud Mens has been making brilliant ambient music for the last 20 years and has been, in my opinion, criminally overlooked by American fans of experimental music. His tape, "Cycle" (NRR20, 2016), remains one of my favorite things we've ever put out on No Rent, and I love this tape even more.
The Ambiguity of an Apparently Static Phenomenon is languorous, spacious, singular ambient music. If you're a fan of the form, then this is an impeccable execution of it.
