First and foremost, this album is a tribute to Brian Eno, one of my longtime musical heroes. While listening to Eno's "Thursday Afternoon" one day I started to wonder if I could combine looping techniques like he was using with real-time 3D spatialisation to create a soundscape where melodies could generatively organise themselves around the listener in 3D space. This album was the result of my experiments.
I created each piece using a series of irregularly sized melodic loops that run out of sync with each other to create infinitely evolving patterns of melody like in Eno's "Thursday Afternoon".
I gave each loop its own trajectory in 3D space using Envelop for Live M4L spatial audio plugins in Ableton Live to create an ambisonic soundscape that continuously and endlessly iterates new melodic ideas from different places in virtual space and layered each track with spatialised field recordings of nature to add to each track's sense of locational space.
This is the binaural version of the album, rendered from the original ambisonic [3D] versions. Ambisonic [ambix] versions are available on request.
Enjoy with headphones for best spatialisation effects.

😔 Still desperately trying to find the CD version, for my archives… i have the original digital release, and this one adds more beauty to an already beautiful album… The Sand Traveler
