elements: audio environments part four: water

by tom eaton

supported by

abendromen “However tired it might be to reference Eno in assessing another artist's ambient release, an Eaton production as impeccably crafted as “The Marsh and the Tide” (Earth) or “The Solar Interior” (Fire) holds up against anything Eno created during his Music for Films period.”

Textura www.textura.org/archives/e/eaton_elements.htm Favorite track: a final descent.

sarahjane28 This extraordinary album, like all of the albums in this series, makes no demands and yet fully envelopes the listener. The most tranquil of the four albums, "Water" takes you to a place that feels set apart and almost sacred: perfect for meditating, reading, or falling asleep. Favorite track: what the river says.

Berkdrums A total surprise for me.. this Water, Earth, Air and Fire-series of releases... And what a surprise this is! 4 masterpieces filled with drifting, soothing, comforting, peaceful, and above all, stunning ambient, in a style that I get back to, each and everytime... It breathes a kind of nostalgia that’s hard to ecplain for me, but it feels like ‘home’.. it feels like summerdays, the smell of pine trees or open fields, it feels like walking on the beach or looking at clouds drifting by.

about

when i am not writing "structured" music i create extended ambient sonic landscapes to help slow my brain and heart rate down. my albums have included hints of this kind of compositional approach but because i create so much of this music, and because i find it useful in my life (both as a way to emotionally process things and as a way to create some stillness in a busy life), i decided to gather my favorite pieces of this style into a collection...well, actually four collections. each album centers around one of the four elements, and each contains seven 10 minute pieces inspired by the natural world. i hope the music helps you find your center...or helps you simply get lost for a while.
