Some ambient. It’s important to remember, I think, that ambient shouldn’t just be music without beats. Brian Eno sez:
” Ambient Music must be able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular; it must be as ignorable as it is interesting. “
Of course, it’s easy to do the ignorable part, but a good bit harder to do the interesting bit.
This track really nails it. The first time I heard this track it was background music; the second time my ears pricked up every now and then; the third time, my eyes were closed, I stopped what I was doing and I went for the ride. It’s a long track, and is a bit reminiscent of Basinski’s ‘Disintegration Loops’ – a ‘riff’ which ever so gradually morphs through time. I love that unchanging / changing thing.
It’s also licensed under Creative Commons, so share away. Thanks to Statto from Subvert Central for the tip.

Thanks for your kind words. A lot of love went into ‘Pieces for a Condemned Piano’.
We are glad you enjoyed it.

The volume mainly impressed me with style, then, but that shouldn†t be taken to diminish the quality of the actual data or analysis, just the way it†s presented.
