Ambient Endeavors - "Ogden" (self-released) I've always had a sneaking suspicion that there were ambient artists in Minneapolis. Given the solitary, humble tendencies of the genre, it makes intuitive sense that they wouldn't be the most discoverable. I haven't done a ton of searching, so it's probably also on me. I was very pleasantly surprised when I came across Ambient Endeavors , the project of Minneapolis' Andrew Schibilla. The name gives it away, so I was immediately intrigued, but when I found references to Hammock and Explosions in the Sky on his Bandcamp, I was sold. "Ogden" is Schibilla's latest dive into beautiful atmospherics. It hums with a sense of natural wonder, each moment more overwhelming than the last. Within the world of the song, there are no boundaries. Textures transfuse into an uplifting mixture of affirmation and awe as spectral piano chords peak out from the heavens. The Hammock influence is especially apparent...
