Darshan: Autumn Light
Eno solo piano voice, Budd basics of the ivory way, and Tim Story stylings are all here. Think Windham Hill’s sampler of new electronic music, The Soul of the Machine and such quality. I also heard that Mark Isham soundtrack technique sans brass. Repeating melody lines, synth washes like breezes or gentle tides, graceful line and symmetry, all well-balanced in six vignettes serve to ease the heart. Peace reigneth over the sustained moment with Darshan.
If you are new to Ambience in music, you might start right here to hear simple beauty. This is light-filled warmth and healing — serenity. Strongly recommended.
