The Void by Michael Briel


9:45 minutes (8.92 MB) Electronic Ambient 1999

The Void allows you to loose yourself in the endless voids of space... Built on a carpet of slightly distorted strings (for your information - the sound comes from Einstrürzende Neubauten’s “Ende Neu” CDrom version) there is a slow analogue bass loop that leads us through this meditative track. The tune works by using long and exactly set echoes on allmost all of it’s main sounds.  read more »

Ambient 01 by Michael Briel


8:14 minutes (7.54 MB) Electronic Ambient 1999

Other than The Void, Ambient 01 actually features a grooving slow beat. I don’t know about you, but to me this tune says “onward... onward...” ;) In fact the original version of the tune was about twice as long as this “short edit”, but since this even for me seemed a *bit* long I did this second version.

Der Klang by Michael Briel


6:28 minutes (5.93 MB) Electronic Ambient 1999

When I recorded this I thought that it sounds very good to me but that noone’ll like it. Oh, how wrong I was - I got *very* positive feedback on Der Klang which is, drummroll please, nothing more than *one* chord on the wavestation, played on a modulating sound. That creates a pulsating feeling which won’t let you go...

In other words: Pure, unrefined ambient! :)

Laudate by Michael Briel


10:54 minutes (9.99 MB) Electronic Ambient 1999

When I first heard the works of Sarband, a choir which does mainly medieval music, I became an addict at once. By using this loop from one of their tracks I bow before their works.  read more »

Subwaves by Michael Briel


16:20 minutes (14.96 MB) Electronic Ambient 1999

“subwaves, travelling deep space / radiowaves / transmitting signals”

I assume that one can say Subwaves was heavily influenced by Biosphere’s The Shield - a low, sweeping bass, tranquilizing spoken words with no real meaning (even though I *didn’t* use the computer voice from 2010), floating around...  read more »

The Abyss by Michael Briel


5:29 minutes (5.03 MB) Electronic Ambient 1999

The Abyss is sounds. Analogue fx, twisted knobs and defenitely no structure at all. Deeper, deeper and deeper into the darkness...

When I listen to it now it somehow sounds to me like an electronic version of the music in the final travelling sequence of 2001 - a space odyssey. But in this case it’s purely coincidential.
