Album Notes & Community Reviews

This sweeping, multi-disc box set compiles rare, long-form ambient works originally designed by the genre's pioneer to accompany specific audio-visual gallery exhibitions worldwide. Stripped of all traditional song structures, the evolving, generative compositions utilize infinite loops of synthetic warmth to actively alter the listener's perception of physical space and time. It encapsulates decades of rigorous, immersive sound design.
