slipstream 2018

Old & new converge to once again ford the ever meandering, ambient stream...the slipstream. This series, crafted from 2006 through 2009, makes me reflect upon the entire ambient genre. Every musical category has, for me (and probably others as well), a “sweet spot” – that is to say, a favorite period of time when, in the listener’s opinion, the genre was at its height. For me, ambient music hit its peak from approximately 1995/1997 to 2010/2012:

Albums like Smile on the Void (A Produce) 2001, The Equatorial Stars (Brian Eno & Robert Fripp) 2005, Sanctuary of Dreams (Numina) 2004, Perihelion (Viridian Sun) 1999, Strata (Steve Roach & Robert Rich) O.K., that's from 1990, Lanterna (Henry Frayne) 1995, Electric Ladder (Robert Rich) 2005, The Wine of Silence (Robert Fripp) 2012 and a perennial favorite Seofon’s Zero Point (2001) all shaped my love for the genre as well as helped me hone my mix-craft.
