spankenhaus I’m finding these tracks so calming. Atmospheric without being overwhelmingly so, in that my imagination is free to wander! Lovely stuff Kit Favorite track: Aurora.

about

Gentle Machines is a collection of 4 excerpts from generative pieces made over a 20 year period from 1999 to 2019. Generative music is ever-different & changing, created by a system. Once started, the system can play music over an extended period of time, or indefinitely. Although there is always a certain distinctive sound and/or repeating motifs, it is unlikely that exactly the same passage or combination of sounds will ever repeat, however long it runs. I like to use generative music to transform the mood of spaces, to animate static rooms, complement other artforms or as an aid to calm restless thoughts.
