about

This is my tenth self-released collection of tracks. The music here seems to be strolling the perimeter of the traditional ambient borderlands, but refusing to set both feet into the delineated area. Most of these pieces exhibit some drama or melody, thus precluding any convenient collective categorisation. Many of them have cinematic associations, and/or a darkish atmosphere. Even so, I think it's a fairly laid-back listening experience, and could be used for relaxation purposes.

Four of the tracks here have previously featured on Ambient Online Compilation albums, although I have remixed three of them for this release, and the other track features different mastering.

All tracks were originally recorded between September 2016 and August 2021, and final mixing and mastering took place between June 2018 and September 2023, although I was working on other projects during these periods.

Genre: electronica, electroprog, electronic, cinematic, atmospheric, soundtrack, ambient, orchestral

about

whatsisname West Sussex, UK

Prog-Rock formed a significant part of my musical upbringing, although this collection of my creations may confuse the casual listener, and I suspect, the experienced listener equally. I note that the proportion of my ambient releases relative to my other works is slowly increasing. ... more
