A Glimpse of Light

by Enno Velthuys

A Glimpse of Light cover art

A deeply reclusive figure who recorded exclusively in his bedroom, Velthuys self-released this exquisite piece of melancholic ambient music during the height of the cassette culture era. The compositions rely on fragile, lo-fi synthesizer melodies and gentle tape hiss to create an atmosphere of profound isolation and nocturnal beauty. It is highly regarded by collectors as an obscure masterpiece of DIY ambient.
