-- This message is being posted to Ambient, IDM and 313 mailing lists.. Why? --ambient (this title falls right in line w/ the Ambient list members), 313 (Roderick Julian is a resident of the Detroit area), IDM (it's absolutely intelligent and will get your brain cells moving..).. Well.. i've had this title for well over 2-3 years now and a little experiment has been conducted.. Some of you might find this a little bizarre or perhaps quite interesting, but i highly suggest you give it a try if you have an extra CD-player and a lounge-y area in your place of residence.. Last Tuesday night i (once again) dropped Rod Modell's "The Autonomous Music Project" (Lunar) on the CD-tray for the nth time before falling asleep.. The next morning i left for Atlanta and returned on Saturday night.. My significant other decided to leave the Rod Model on 'repeat all' for the days i was gone.. and it's still, to this minute, rotating its "cool watery depths" in the other room.. I must admit now that this title endures the test of time and repeated rotations consistently. Rod's music not only can be described as atmospherically driven, but it also fills any room with an array of unusually natural soundscapes from tiny air molecules flowing into watery bubbles to a thick blanket of light yet industrialized buzzing, and soothing microscopic debris. While most of this album was meant to be released in this direction, i've only just recently realized that it is the perfect landscape for background listening at night and during the day.. "The Autonomous Music Project" emits a certain radiant wave of simplicity and pensive electrical currents. I've plugged this album before, and will continue to do so as i feel it deserves the appreciation of an audience within the Ambient list community. If you haven't already picked this one up, try to locate it.. if you do have it, try the repeated play experiment and let me know your results! Here are some liner notes from Rod Modell's "Autonomous..":: "My inspiration for these soundscapes were natures organic elements. My aim was to bring the listener a vivid, high-resolution experience, and not merely a listening. Using sound as my medium, i wanted to reproduce the sensations created by air and water, coolness and warmth, darkness and light. Virtual reality on a CD, available using closed eyes, a comfortable place, and a hi-fi system." Tracklisting:: Inside the Rain Maker 6.10.. The Solar World 4.50.. Cool Watery Depths 11.04.. Air Flow 15.33.. Tribal Air-Spirit Tracking 9.04.. Equator 10.32.. Conger Beach Late Night 5.40.. -- Just thought i'd mention this experiment as it has truly been a part of our personal landscape of soothing ambient beauty..
