I just like this... cassette tape(???), I think they call it. It's so... 2oth century. It dosen't serve a purpose though. I mean... It reminds us where we come from - musically, as it were.

[possible stimulus] is an ambient discovery internet radio show broadcasted exclusively for Lounging Sound. The show is hosted by stailfish (of Lounging Sound) and features interviews with musicians, artist histories, and a pershow themed blend of ambient sound. It is a continuing journey to explore the ambient lands > the history, the future, the ancient ruins, the cavernous subterranean jungles, the deep places of space to the silent cobalt of the sea bed. It broadcasts on the 26th of every month.

^{Diary of an Ambienthead} {part iii}

(1.18.06) Last night, laying in bed, I had a personal mix of nature sounds and various artists in a blend. The one that I particularly thought was great was an ocean sound with Eno's "Ending/An Ascent" playing over it. Really, the blend allows it more to be in the mid or background than in the foreground, which allowed it to become one with the waves - thus forming its descriptive properties.

Another descriptive track was, I believe, "Plateux of Mirrors" (from Eno's album of the same name) mixed with rainfall.

In searching for the correlation between ambient music and it's roots, this self-made mix was a great research devise because it was musical descriptive silence - wherein it could hold countless possibilities.

This is why I want to revisit nature and the ambiance it exudes. What can I hear in the pattering of rain? Crashing of waves? Trickle of the stream?

I haven't completely connected with these yet; I know that. But I feel, when I was making the mix, that I had begun to touch this. I also feel that I am very close. The next show will be a journey for me as much as it could be for you.

>> This months show (January) is entitled "Sounds of Nature {echoes of the land}" and will be an hour long peaceful passage through the natural sounds of various climates of the Earth. The official one sheet can be found [here].
