A track from 'One', our first album of deep and mysterious longform ambient music. 

A continuous, almost hour long piece split into seven parts. 

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.

released 25 August 2011

Echidna

A track from our third album of deep and mysterious longform ambient music.

A continuous, almost hour long piece split into eight parts.

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 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.

Makemake

A track from our fourth album of deep and mysterious longform ambient music.

A continuous, almost hour long piece split into nine parts.

This is probably our most minimal release so far - slowly evolving sounds with lots of space.

Chariklo

A track from our fifth album of deep and mysterious longform ambient music.

A continuous, almost hour long piece split into six parts.

Sonically, this album has similarities with our first album one but is much more sparce and minimalistic.
The music evolves very slowly and is very spacious.

Damocles

A track from our sixth album of deep and mysterious longform ambient music.

A continuous, 50 minute piece split into six parts.

Though slowly evolving and spacious, this is probably the brightest sounding so far.
Play it quietly in the background or put on your headphones and emerse yourself in the music.

Okyrhoe

A track from our seventh album of deep and mysterious longform ambient music.
A continuous, hour long piece split into eight parts.

Slow, really slow, expansive atmospheres and bells.

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.

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!

Cyllarus

A track from 'eight', an album of deep and mysterious longform ambient music.
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 quickly as I did with TNOs.


Icarus

A track from 'ten', an album of deep and mysterious longform ambient music.

After last time's journey into Complex Silence, we go back to a completely generative music - a continuous, hour long piece split into eight parts.

I have also been working on surround sound mixes of previous albums. These will become available over the next few months.

Hephaistos

A preview of the next album.

This is the first track of the album 'eleven', a continuous 53 minute piece of music split into seven parts.

The album is due to be released around November 2012.
