In this video, I reflect on what I’ve learned from the last few years of making ambient music — what actually matters, and what I wish I’d understood before buying gear, chasing sounds, or comparing myself to other artists.

If you’re new to ambient music, or you’re restarting with fresh perspective, I hope this helps.
