Ambient World

Two-disc set of electronic music by David Arkenstone.
A word from David Arkenstone: I ve always considered myself sort of a painter,
of sound. For a while now, I ve been experimenting with many different new sound
textures, and this recording is the result. The more I worked on the pieces, the more
I was aware that the music was heavily influenced by my recent trip to Japan. My
choice of sonic tonal colors seemed to reflect my many experiences there, from riding
the shinkansen to the lush countryside ... and even walking through Tokyo at early
dawn in a wide-awake trance, due to jet lag. It all seems sort of surreal now, and I
think my paintings allow me to travel back to that special place in my memory.
