Search - Robert Scott Thompson :: Ginnungagap

GINNUNGAGAP presents 14 finely crafted tracks of highly innovative music in the contemporary, ambient and ambient/world genres. At over 70 minutes, this disc offers a broad range of music from the serene and gentle ambient flow of Nocturne (for a midnight sun) to the spacey surreal textures of Illuminant to the pulsing polyrhythmic complexity of the title track. Yet, the 14 tracks of this CD cohere and flow together with graceful ease and elegance. GINNUNGAGAP blends several stylistic tendencies together into one musical utterance - new-age, ambient, classical, avant-garde and pop. A tour-de-force of musical technique and innovation. Aficionados of the ambient, new-age and alternative pop genres will hear the influences of Eno, Bowie, Peter Gabriel and others, but within a context that is both fresh and unique. Influences are also drawn from contemporary classical music, which imbue the disc with an other-worldly quality and a sense of timelessness. Stunning music for the new millennium.
