Emerald Web
Dreamspun
Classic synthesizer orchestration creates a unique blend of \"electronic space music\" and acoustic instruments.
A magical, musical journey which ranges from minimalistic flowing flute passages with delicately woven sampled textures, to polyrhythmic synthesizer sequences. It stimulates the listener\'s imagination and creativity. The music stands the test of time with its mixture of organic textures, electronic orchestrations and magical sonic landscapes created on flutes, Lyricon, strings and digital samples. This album was originally recorded in 1989 for the legendary Audion Label which featured some of the finest electronic musicians in the world.
