A brand new music from an international collaboration between myself, piper_ben (Germany) and Getzel (Mexico).
The album is a mix of piano, glitched electronics and ambient landscapes.
This collaboration has happened very quickly with much enthusiasm from all three of us, so expect more music very soon.

The latest release from my ambient side project, the ambient visitor.
A continuous, hour long piece split into seven parts.
A heavenly choir with sweeping, slow notes and deep bass.
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.
The tracks on this album (and albums to follow) are named after Apollo near-Earth asteroids, objects whose orbits cross that of Earth.
There are many hundreds of known Apollo asteroids, though only a few dozen have been named officially, so I may run out of names from this list as quicly as I did with TNOs.
Albums 'Nine' and 'Ten' are ready and will be released over the next couple of months.
I have also been working on surround sound mixes of previous albums. These will become available over the next few months.

Soothing Images 31-47
Total running time: 1:37:48
The third in the series of live, improvised ambient albums based around two interacting and slowly decaying loops.
Another 17 quiet ambient songs - mainly piano and baritone guitar - with 17 accompanying photographs.
How the music is created:
A 16 bar phrase is played.
That phrase is fed into a slowly decaying 16 bar loop, similar to the one used in Twilight Sessions.
That loop is fed into a slowly decaying 6 bar loop which repeates the first loop every 6 bars, so that soon, there are several layers of the original phrase that interact and create new themes and melodies.
They seem to appear from nowhere, but these new melodies are destined to happen as soon as each note is played in the original 16 bar phrase.
