Bing Satellites news and releases

the ambient visitor - seven

New deep and mysterious ambient album out now!

Released by the ambient visitor 16 February 2012

The latest release from my ambient side project, the ambient visitor.

A continuous, hour long piece split into eight parts.

Slow, really slow, expansive atmospheres and bells.

The music is generative:
each note is played in a long loop, the length of each loop if different for each note, so although the music may seem to vary only slightly, it never quite repeats itself.

Again, the songs titles are named after Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) - small planetoids and other objects in our solar system whose orbits are on average greater than that of Neptune.

These objects are in turn named after characters from Greek and Pacific island mythology.

Seven is the last album whose songs will be named in this manner - for now at least. While there are many known TNOs, only a few have been given proper names and I have used them all on these first seven albums!

High Fidelity

Psychedelic ambient EP out now - free download!

Released by Laverna 5 February 2012

The new experimental ambient EP from Bing Satellites.

This release follows in the footsteps of Bing's collaboration with Tange 'A Crossing Of Paths' (it was recorded around the same time). It, more than probably any other Bing Satellites release, relies on sounds being heavily processed until the original sounds almost completely disappear.

This is an ambient EP but it is heavy with mid and very low bass and quite psychedelic at times.

And the music moves about in space - listen to this on headphones (especially Space Between Your Ears) and hear these songs swirl around you.

live ambient 1

New live ambient sets out now!

Complete album released 1 February 2012

On the spur of the moment, on Saturday 28 January 2012, I broadcast an improvised ambient set on mixlr.com, live, as it happened.

There were a few glitches in the broadcast which I have ironed out of the recording.

What you get here, from that broadcast, is nearly an hour of atmospheric ambience performed on flute, glissando guitar and the rest of my usual set up.

Spurred by that success, I broadcast a further two improvised ambient sets a few days later. The 3 broadcasts - nearly 3 hours of live improvised ambient music - are collected here for your enjoyment.

This album is now complete - subsequent broadcasts will be included on another collection.
