Album Notes

Music to Dream by. Album 2

Finish of the Vanishing is an extension of the previously released, "No Sleep for Dreamers". Music compositions designed to enhance the time you spend soaking and resting. Balance between sound and silence is it's essence. A "World Flow" sonic design of sparse spiritual piano improvisations with an intriguing organic background.

Robert Windfield was born in the Berkeley / San Francisco area in California. Later moving to Los Angeles to play and produce music, as well as experiment in film, and recording. It was during this time he was exposed to Environmental and Ambient soundscapes while playing in a local pop/punk band (The Vidiots) in Chinatown - Hollywood.

It wasn’t long before he escaped LA back to Northern California were Ambient music started to play a larger role in the music and video he was creating. Now living in Spokane WA as the executive director of River3 Digital he has continued this interest with two new CD releases. No Sleep for Dreamers and Finish of the Vanishing.

The music is concerned with the sheer feel of sound, rather than with the linear (horizontal) growth of the melodies. Along with these metaphorical sketches of sound is an added dimension of vertical color that brings the music closer. In fact most of the music on these albums are constructed on a vertical basis. The soundscapes present certain tone colors or timbres, and the interest lies in the relationships between these colors, instead of the evolution of thematic material, common in Western art music.
