Flying. Drifting. Floating.
Three kinds of virtual movement we find in ambient music.
Flying...is moving through space with speed, purpose, and destination.
Flying is active.
Drifting...is horizontal. You surrender to prevailing forces and let them move you.
Drifting is passive.
Floating...is vertical. You hang suspended, neutrally buoyant, in equilibrium with gravity.
Like drifting, floating is passive.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we drift wide and quiet, on a program called DRIFTING IN SILENCE. Music is by DRIFTING IN SILENCE, MASSERGY, CLIVE WRIGHT, STEVE ROACH, PHILLIP WILKERSON, VIR UNIS, JOHN FOXX + HAROLD BUDD.
