Drosophila Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Thanks for sharing this I want to have a place like that when I grow old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 So would I. I think some of us dream of having their own retreat like that... a studio stacked with synths and equipment, in a nice setting and with plenty of time to spend in complete solitude, just making sounds and music. How cool is that. This reminds me of Steve Roach, who has his studio somewhere in the Arizona desert, so he is close to nature and can draw inspiration from it. These guys practically live for (and off) ambient(ish) music. They are living their dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needle ninja Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Pete Namlook makes the kind of music they called trance in the 1990s and I still consider trance ('cus I'm oldskool). Brian Eno's definition of ambient is mine too. It's a subtle difference, but is journey music. This is big for me because I don't like most ambient, but I like journey music.

Bahamut Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 He makes so much different music it can't be classified under one or two genres. There's something for everyone. Some of his stuff is indeed not much more than wallpaper ambient, while other music is (much) more melodic and/or rhythmic. It also depends who he collaborates with. He can play a nice jazz guitar too. Surely one of the most versatile and diverse artists in electronic music.
