Purple Decades is the new Ambient project from Composer, Pianist, and Producer Tristan Eckerson.

"The track itself is a beautiful and dreamlike classical piece that echoes with a cinematic feeling."

- Discobelle

“Adriatic” is a softly moving piece, a song that fuses together ambient backdrops and the melancholic tones of neo-classical inspired soundscapes. It’s the first track from composer Tristan Eckerson’s newest ambient project, Purple Decades and it’s an incredibly dreamy, whimsical piece. As I sit back and enjoy the track, visions of a foggy morning come to mind as the song carries this slow soundscape with it, one that is perfect for the more quiet moments of the day."

- Rural Sounds

"Inspired by the minimal works of Jon Hopkins and Ryuichi Sakamoto, electronic and organic textures and ambience have taken the place of the piano as shimmering melodic shapes undulate against the backdrop of a warm, enveloping soundscape. It is an immersive piece of music quite unlike anything Eckerson has created before and which whets the appetite to see how this new project will continue to unfold."
