Room 101 had a guest once.
Or maybe it was the room that was visiting him.
People said he carried a kind of silence with him —
thin, metallic, almost patterned —
the kind of quiet you hear just before a transmission breaks through.
He left no record, no imprint, no name.
Only a faint distortion in the hallway light
and a smell like rain on old circuitry.
Inside the room, nothing was out of place,
yet nothing felt returned to where it belonged.
The air tasted of a question no one could phrase.
The mirror refused to hold a reflection for longer than a heartbeat.
They say the door still shifts slightly when you walk past it,
as if adjusting itself to your shape,
as if remembering something it was never meant to.”**
“Tonight we descend a little deeper.
Into the rooms we don’t often visit—
the ones lit by memory, shadow, and quiet confession.
Here, sound becomes a companion to the darker currents,
a guide through the low-light corridors of the self.
Nothing rushes. Nothing hides.
We simply walk, slowly, through the echoes of who we’ve been
and who we might become
as the world outside dissolves into a distant hum.”
Your ongoing support has been incredible, and I’m truly grateful for every stream, follow, and message. Many of you have asked for longer mixes—and today, I’m delivering just that.
This is an extended journey into long-form ambient and experimental sound. At over an hour, it’s a deeply meditative mix designed to help you unwind, reflect, or simply drift. Layered with immersive textures, subtle field recordings, and evolving atmospheres, this episode invites you to lose yourself in the sound.
Whether you're relaxing, studying, or finding a moment of calm in a busy day—this one's for you.
Thank you again for listening and supporting the show. Enjoy the mix.
Something slightly different in this episode. A bit of a chill out mix WITH drums. I won't be making a habit of it, PROMISE. But had to do a bit of a mix with some of my favourite chill out tunes. Got to mix it up a little now and again, don't you ??

"Rich in texture, the album weaves intricate, ASMR-like textures that are both interesting, familiar, and
captivating, engaging the senses while keeping the creative energy in constant motion.
It's an invitation,
not just to listen, but to explore, and to piece together meaning from the abstract and find beauty in
the unexpected"

A bit of a sleepy mix here. Or a concentration aid. Strings, Atmospheric, that kind of vibe.
So much great music on Bandcamp at the moment. My hard drive is smiling, my bank balance, not so much.
The title was supplied by my grandson who was explaining to me a story he was read at nursery.
"The water in the forrest was Tardis blue, and the trees were swaying from side to side, and then there was a peppermint sky" Thanks Noah, (-;
Well Someone's been on Bandcamp ....... :-)
Some brand new ambient here,
Seems to be a push of great music in this genre at the moment.
Some old favourites here too.
Enjoy.
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to give you all an update. Back in December, I was made redundant from a job I had for 36 years, which naturally shifted my priorities for a while. As a result, I had to put the podcast / label on hold.
I’m still looking for work and accepting that it’s going to be a slow journey, but I’ll get there. In the meantime, I’m hoping to make mixes more frequently again.
Thank you all for your patience and for standing by me—I really appreciate the support!

Ambient Atomic Orbitals exists in the space between silence and sound.
Each episode is a carefully sculpted continuum of longform ambient, evolving drones,…
Field recordings, distant voices, decaying machinery, vast reverberant spaces, and slowly shifting harmonic landscapes are woven into seamless journeys that reward both focused listening and quiet coexistence. Every mix unfolds organically, revealing new details with each return, like light finding forgotten corners of an abandoned world.
Whether you are seeking solitude, contemplation, creative focus, deep relaxation, or simply an escape from the relentless pace of everyday life, Ambient Atomic Orbitals offers a refuge where stillness has shape and silence carries its own gravity.
More than a podcast, Ambient Atomic Orbitals is an evolving archive of sonic exploration and an independent platform dedicated to artists who challenge convention through ambient, drone, experimental, and electroacoustic music. It is a place where emerging and established voices are equally valued, united by a shared belief that sound can evoke memory, alter perception, and illuminate landscapes beyond language.
Close your eyes. Leave the familiar behind. Enter the orbit.
