Album Works
Drones - Ambient Works
2026
Drones: Ambient Works is the third album in my Ambient Works series. Each album is based around a different concept. All tracks on "Drones" start with a musical drone (a long, sustained note or chord) as the basis of the composition. Evolving harmonies, basslines and melodic loops interact with the drone foundation to create ever-changing textures. Some tracks started life as live ambient performances, such as 'Kitchen' and 'Radio', while others were composed over many days in my studio.

Ambient Works - Lofi Mixes
2025
Ambient Works – Lofi Mixes is a collection of remixes based on compositions from my Ambient Works albums, as well as older and (so far) unreleased tracks, reimagined with lo-fi chillout beats. A huge thank you to Rory Tayler, who provided guitar improvisation on the track “Innovate.”

Digital Wilderness - Part Two
2025
Digital Wilderness Part Two is a collection of pieces exploring a range of electronic music genres, but mostly remaining chilled in nature. Ambience and field recordings are combined with electronic textures, as well as cinematic elements and sampled beats.
Many thanks to Ted Tayler, who provided guitar performance and co-composed the track “...An Ending”

Sketches: Ambient Works
2025
Sketches is a collection of (mostly) shorter ambient experiments, centred on the process of composition through deliberate limitations and restrictions as part of the creative approach. Examples include using only mobile phone applications as the primary sound source or working with a specific hardware synthesiser. While my Places album focused on organic sounds and field recordings, Sketches embraces a more electronic and otherworldly sound palette.

Places: Ambient Works
2024
A collection of ambient works composed by Nick May. These pieces started life as a series of field recordings, then musical compositions were built around these foundations. The album is peaceful and focuses on the sounds of nature, yet contrasting electronic tones and industrial sounds represent more urban landscapes.

"Digital Wilderness - Part One" has been mostly composed and produced during Covid 19 lockdowns. Some tracks feature ambient recordings, recorded during the eerie quiet of lockdown.
