Artist picture
Thought Breathing Music. Hauntingly complex Ambient Soundscapes. An evolving and expanding musical adventure. Gravity Quiet, a new taste of Soundscape Ambience.
In the past few years, the Ambient/New Age genres have been flooded with artists whose music is mostly filled with over-utilized loops and often repeated Keyboard factory pads. Gravity Quiet was created and designed specifically to not drown the listener in meditative pabulum, but to feature compositions arranged with depth and transparency. Much too often, the "Ambient" or "New Age" monikers feature tracks that slowly lull the listener to unrecognized boredom with sonic wall paper. Gravity Quiet's musical selections are evolving, adventurous and ever expanding. Each Album will feature a Science Fiction storyline that will accompany each Song. Although released in the Ambient/New Age arena, Gravity Quiet is not intended to be exclusive to those genres. The musical selections are thick with Expressive, Evolving and Unique Keyboard flavoring. A Soundtrack only limited by the listener's imagination. Instead of following the well traveled computer software road, Gravity Quiet is recorded with actual Keyboard and Sound Module hardware. Instead of arrangements that assail the listener with slow pulsing waves of yawn, Gravity Quiet creates and supplies the audio viewer with Hauntingly complex, Ambient Soundscapes. Imaginative works based not on the minimal standard, but on the concept of deep and intense instrumentals with rich textures and mind tempting Soundscapes. A menu of strong presence, but with simple ethereal grace when required. When Soft, it is never weak. When Strong, it is never overpowering. Gravity Quiet, a magical blend of Ambient, New Age and Soundscape. Music not limited to any tonal state of mind.

Story behind the song
In order to arrange for parts and repair of our ship, we would need to travel underground to another Space Port far from our landing site. We rode on a floating monorail type transport with long cylindrical tubes filled with creatures and cargo. Some of the Benarh stared at us with a child like curiosity. We were riders on an extra-terrestrial train, Alien passengers stranded on their world, in their time, and in their grace. Below us as we traveled by, was an opaque seemingly frozen sea. A lake of ice and mist that appeared illuminated from below. Just below the surface one could see dark, shadowy movement everywhere. Our Antarian friends accompanying us explained these were Shadow swimmers. Ocean like beings that lived only in these hidden waters. The Benarh both feared and respected these lifeforms, but strangely most had never attempted to communicate or interact with this mysterious frigid species.

I like the steady patience of this as it changes textures in subtle yet powerful movements behind the theme. It is very much like watching shadows move across frozen water. The textures are like warm moving currents which pick up characterists of their own from hidden places.
