The beauty of Xorkoths statement is that it istrue, if you want it to be. [...]
That post sounds pretty beautiful as well.

It can be confronting to think about whether we are ready be make ourselves happy and let go of stuff.
Hey, I have a degree in audio engineering and produce a lot of electronic music, so can probably field some semi-advanced questions. Fire away, here or PM....
Great, may also get advice from MGS yet, but let me ask anyway... I have recorded a solo piano piece, guess I am inspired by Nils Frahm, now I want to process that into a track and while I do not intend to copy his entire style, I'd like to have a better understanding of the subtleties of ambient sounds.

The sound is really filled up, as if there is softened noise or a cleaned up form of static, or a silence that is not entirely silent, with a lot of compression. Considering the title of this track I assume he made use of an found sound recording of rain falling outside.
My piano recording is via a digital piano and midi so I don't have actual ambient sound yet, but I was thinking of recording things like a creaking piano stool, soundboard, sighs and maybe some details I happen upon with extensive reverberation added...
and using that, somewhat chaotically but also with repetitions. All quite low volume so pretty subtle.
I am also interested in the workings of resonance and letting some notes sing using chorus or collision / corpus effect in ableton where membranes or strings or other materials are hit percussively by another sound fed into it.
My basic question for advice is about the soft noise, a type of silence that impregnates the sound, which I can use as background for my piano track. What do you think? Can you help me get into the right direction? I understand I will have to just experiment a little, but I'd like to get a bit more insight first.
