One can’t really say that one listens to this music – it’s more a case of surrendering to the sounds which are compellingly hypnotic once you let go. I have a feeling this is mind altering stuff – or at the very least, mood altering! I’m curious about how a composer sets about this type of work. Is it largely looped?? There seems to be a fair amount of repetition which helps to bring about that almost meditative state, but with subtle changes and additions along the way. Most peculiar; I felt as though I was not going to be able to sit through the whole album, but in the end, didn’t want to stop it either! Ambient/instrumental - he has a huge body of work, most of which I haven’t heard, but I do like the album he did with Michael Sterns and Kevin Braheny - Desert Solitaire. Perhaps need to seek out some more!
It’s referred to here as a ‘sonic marvel’ by those who are no doubt better qualified than I to comment

I can't access these clips in my country but perhaps you can in yours ...
