Slowspace

Beatless, atmospheric, immersive ambient soundscapes for relaxation or contemplation.

The debut album, The Eternal Realm, was released on 1st July 2005, and the complete album is available to download.  In addition, several unreleased and experimental tracks are also available.
Why this name?
Since most of the music I create is very expansive and spacious, and doesn't contain rhythms of any kind, I wanted a name which would suggest a realm of open space, where time flows at an infinitesimal speed.
Your influences?
I enjoy a wide range of genres, including drum'n'bass, house/trance, pop, classical, funk, jazz, shoegazing, folk, and occasionally hip-hop, heavy metal and noise.  However, my musical creations are usually inspired by tracks by ambient artists, from veterans such as Steve Roach to lesser-known artists such as Thom Brennan and Exuviae.  I find Mathias Grassow's drone-based works especially inspiring, as well as creations by other drone artists such as Oöphoi.  Many of nature's environments and phenomena also inspire me, such as the sea, caves, and misty landscapes.
Favorite spot?
The seaside at night – gazing out across the seemingly infinite expanse of the sea, listening to the endless voice of the waves, watching the stars drift across the sky.
Equipment used:
Most of my works are created using my acoustic guitar, heavily processed using a variety of software effects such as reverb filters.  Quite often, I use a few synthetic/artificial sounds, such as white noise and sine waves, or use processed "field recordings" of natural environments or household objects.  However, I never use any electronic instruments such as synthesizers, MIDI equipment, music software, etc.
