hi michael,


on the radio station called "MUSIC FROM THE HEARTS OF SPACE"

http://www.hos.com  there is a vast quantity of hypnotic music 

and past play lists of their music, so you can catch up on

the excellent music there . the term "space music" refers to

psycho-accousticlly derived sensory spacial producing noise.

not so much as electronic sound or outer space music nor science 

fiction sound scapes , but psychoaccoustic space ! Try it.

download the real audio GUI at www.real.com , then go to 

www.netradio.net and listen to some of the finest textures in the world!

yes i am fastinated with the ambient drone of many types of music

and the effect of it on the human psych. when i owned a recording 

studio , i used to tweek up huge ambient pads on various types of analog 

synth, and then use the sound to meditate and take naps.

i have done little composition with that because for a while it seemed 

as though everyone was going to jump on the band wagon.

virtually all of europe did from what i've heard.

but not so much in the usa , except for new york , washington dc,

california.

out here in the midwest if you turn on a radio the complexity of music

is about like "1910 fruit gum companies ,yummy yummy yummy " sort of 

left behind or left out. 

i had a few meetings of the midwest electroaccoustic society

and 4 people came to the show!

mostly omaha nebraska is a football town with cowboy music

( but i'm fortunate, all my family was farmers and ranchers 

so i like that also, my mother was a T.V. personality and i 

been following in her footsteps in my studio and film studies)

I have a few nice drones if i can find them, i'll post for you.

they are not very complex or fancy .orc. but you may like them.

you can email me at 2craig-routt@usa.net if you would like.

craig
