This is bizarre but ambient and interesting to listen to!

I'm, of course, familiar with John cage and La Monte Young, but I've never viewed either of them as ambient by even the most liberal of definitions, but I'll be sure to listen to the others. Modern classical and subsequent genres resulting from it are entirely different monsters to tackle, but I'm not one to argue what's what. However, the first recording (chronologically speaking) that I would view as ambient is Derbyshire's dreams project (Inventions for radio or something like that).
Regardless, I'll be sure to check out the music of the others you mentioned because it does seem intriguing.
