Farewell23
This music is about ambience, about changing the space which the listener occupies while experiencing the musical piece. This change should effect internal and external space, creating an environment specific to the piece. The listener can ignore this music or actively engage with it, either way it will change their space-- the only difference will be the degree.

Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
i have been interested in making ambient music since hearing a copy of eno's discreet music in 1976. computers have made that possible, and began to devote serious time from my music making activities to doing this in 1999. Since then, I have composed and recorded over 100 hours worth of ambient stuff, including the soundtracks for many silent or experimental films.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
yes, i do play live, and i like to mix my laptop generated music with live soloists.
