I've written some beatless ambient.
The best examples:
https://julianastein.bandcamp.com/track/number-6 ;
https://julianastein.bandcamp.com/track/valli ;
https://ribbonsofsong.bandcamp.com/track/eleanor-island
I'm working on a lot of new beatless ambient stuff too. But, for the most
part, those are my best thus far. If you would like I can keep you posted
on my progress.
As other artists go I really enjoy Bubble (
https://bubble9.bandcamp.com/
). Great droney stuff that still has lots of texture and movement without
having beats.
Some of the tracks on Max Richter's latest work, *SLEEP*, are thoroughly
beatless (and 20 minutes long). There are no 'beats' proper anywhere in the
album, but repetitive phrases for much of the 8-hour piece.
