chrysalism
Violet A. Foster exhales another dark ambient experience. Frozen moments of blurry hazy drones that perfectly enthrall. Loud for artificial silence or quiet for ethereal ambiance. Chrysalism continues the occult themes and vibes from "moments." & "Pale" but in a more “drone” approach.
Released: July 18th, 2024
Pale
Violet A. Foster is back with another skin crawling dark ambient album. Continuing the same "beauty in the dark" approach from their previous release "moments." - starting with"Retrocognition" ... a long dark fall into the 2nd chapter that is "Pale". A host of beautiful, organic sounding swells and ambiance, with subtle drone melodies wisping you to a daydream disassociation or just to sleep.
Released: November 8th, 2023
Crossing Bridges; Violet A. Foster - Silence In Motion
From one of the best ambient mesh-mash-ups of the Collective. Violet A. Foster and Crossing Bridges deliver a hauntingly empty and liminal sounding drone ambient tune. Incorporating long tailed reverbs and a blend of soft strings and synths. Creating these smooth and sleepy swells. Inspired by "Inside the Great Deku Tree" from Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time OST.
Released: June 20th, 2023
Withholding [single]
The sound of a slow raising fader filling an empty theater with sound. almost as if the orchestra is captured in spirit and can be amplified and washed over the empty seats. Violet A. Foster brings another drone ambient moment - with washed and blurred pianos, strings and highly delayed guitar sparkling in the distance.
Released: April 15th, 2023
Furrow [single]
B-Side to "Moments." - the swells, the movement and light airy guitar and piano dancing in the background didn't fit the overarching dark vibes of "Moments." But I found this track to be quite beautiful and still in the area of a Violet A. Foster release. Almost like a peaceful moment in a ominous sinister world.

Weightless (w/Soular Child) [single]
Collaboration of two ambient heavy hitters. Soular Child bringing the light dancing piano. Violet A. Foster delivering a smooth ambient wall of sound ambient texture. Themes of floating, dreaming and just drifting away on the cloud. A much more brighter tune than you would normally hear from Violet, but for this month it seems several aliases are wearing masks. More classic dark ambient from Violet A. Foster later this year.
Released: October 14th, 2022
The Backrooms OST
I wanted to create a soundtrack to “The Backrooms.” The idea of an endless maze that is just beyond our reality is quite inspiring. I’ve always been enthralled by things like this, from slenderman/marble hornets, to the SCP foundation. These ‘internet urban myths’ are so fun and creative I felt like I had to contribute. The album is a blend of light and dark drone ambient. I feel like after years of blending and warping I’ve finally honed in on my style of ambient. Big thanks to NoProblemaTapes for the split digital release. Without their help I wouldn’t have been able to sell out of tapes within 24 hours. First time ever doing tapes all on my own! More physicals being planned for the future. Thanks to everyone who supported this album!
Released: August 17th, 2021
Post-Spirit
Dark and expressive drone-ambient; the classic Violet A. Foster approach with a twist. These were fully created songs I’ve written with the sole intention to massively distort and warp until they were completely unrecognizable; and that is how I got ‘Post-Spirit.’ There is a lot more movement and variety of textures than normal in at Violet release. This is all steps into advancing the project into new experimental paths. An attempt to truly create something out of nothing. Somewhat of a "let the chips fall where they may" approach.
*Split release w/ ATMO Records
Released: February 26, 2021
Another Rift
A thick sheet of noise for your mind. Get washed away in the latest sounds of Violet A. Foster. This is a cornerstone album for the development of this project. Massive space and textures are throughout this album. Created from the samples of random older tracks from the collective. The purpose of this release is too pause your life. No matter where you are you can blast this album and tune out the world around you. Create your own adventure and experience this world of dark drone ambient.
Released: June 11th, 2020
Violet A. Foster & Phlegmatic Stare - A Passing [single]
Spooky, creepy, small ambient song. What sounds like the sound track to a 70s or 80s horror film. The wave of unpredictable string plucks, and glassy keys coming in with an unsettling bend to them. A Passing certainly captures both Violet’s odd sound and Phlegmatic Stare’s.
Released: June 6th, 2019
WOON [single]
Engulfing dark drone ambient track. Sampled from TransHumanist record RMDD. WOON is a texture rich 8 minute long experience that is ideal to fall asleep to on loop. Very minimal, yet extremely enthralling when played on high volume.
Released: March 20th, 2019
Ambient Fingers Vol. 2
The collaboration series continues with Crossing Bridges and Violet A. Foster. Each song hosting extremely textured and cinematic moments. From bombastic and wide to small and fragile, Violet’s blurry-noise style mixed with the straightforward minimal ambient from Crossing Bridges.
Released: December 25th, 2018

About Four Months
After the first release for Violet, the process of obtaining her signature sound was somewhat an anomaly. Through warping and destroying sound About Four Months came to be. From slow glitchy synths to thick layers of noise and sound design. Just as sleepy as the first release if not more.
Released: September 20th, 2018

Before I Met You
A collaboration of the <1 remix project and myself. Taking tracks from WAVE COMPLEX and H A C E and turning them into long experimental ambient noise tracks. These are really gritty and have a flavor I haven't dabbled with yet. Feels like a horror video game.
Released: May 30th, 2018
