Roderick Julian "MODELL":
The Autonomous Music Project..

I'd have to agree with William. This release is a limited
1000 pressing released late last year on Lunar, and
distributed through Soleilmoon i believe "Electro-organic,
virtual-reality audio textures." You can contact the Lunar 
imprint at xxxxxxxx@xxx.xx (Italy). 

Here's the info in the fold-out: "My inspiration for the 
soundscapes were natures organic elements. My aim
was to bring the listener a vivid, high-resolution experience,
and not merely a listening exercise. 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 compact disc, available using
closed eyes, a comfortable place, and a Hi-Fi system."

Rod Modell is highly recommended for the experimental
soundscapes he creates. Not really a musical venture, but
an encapsulating experience for the senses..

Pietro.
