No Muscle, No Memory

posted April 15, 2024 #

I've been listening to Rich Ruth's ambient composition's for a number of years now and they continue to expand and explore new territory. This video for "No Muscle, No Memory" is the first single from his upcoming June 2024 release Water Still Flows. Generally, "ambient composition" would summon very gentle, possibly lulling background music but that is not the case with Rich Ruth.
These instrumental tracks are "ambient" in that they create an ambiance - a vibe - but that vibe isn't the equivalent of a relaxing sauna, often it is something writhing and chaotic. I've not heard the entire album yet but given the evolution that has been occurring over the last few years, I have no doubt this will be one to sneak into your regular rotation as soon as it drops.
