VAN Magazine Article on Ambient Music

July 23, 2019

Author George Grella recently wrote this long-form article entitled "Imaginary Places: The Ambient Influence on Contemporary Music" for VAN Magazine. I'm happy to have a part in it, alongside many other composers that I admire, including Kate Carr, Anna Thorvaldsdottir, and John Luther Adams. Grella states that, "...the places of ambient music don’t have to be tethered to the present, even though that’s when they are heard—they can be a vision of the future or an evocation of the past." It is an insightful and lovely article and I hope you get a chance to read it. You can read the article here.
