Ethnoambient

Ethnoambient (Ethno ambient) is a type of music that draws heavily from acoustic ethnic music - both in musical structure and instrumentation, electric world music, and combines those influences with ambient music related to texture, technological manipulations, and field recordings. Ethno ambient is related in spirit to techno tribal, ethno techno, and especially to "Fourth World" music and "ambient" music, launched in the late 1970's by Jon Hassell and Brian Eno, respectively. Practitioners of ethno ambient music include Bill Laswell, Steve Roach, Robert Rich, Gayan Uttejak, Vidna Obmana, Ian Naismith, Jah Wobble, and Paul Haslinger.
