I've always been fascinated by the way that ambient music drifts in and out of our conscious awareness. It alternates between being primary and secondary with regard to what we are aware of. Ambient music is more than music, it forms part of a high consciousness, become itself almost a way of thinking or existing - it transcends other genres of music in that it must be heard, rather than listened to. I thought I would try my hand at dabbling with it myself, in a sort of musical alchemy.
