about

A little Christmas surprise!
Warm atmospheric ambient music to soothe your soul.

I've been working on this piece of music over the last few days.
It changed a lot over those days.
It starts off in quiet lo-fi ambient territory and becomes more grand and warm, like the sun rising over a frozen winter lake. The music feels quite festive to me so I decided to share it now.

Thank you for listening and supporting my music over the last year.
I hope this festive season and the year ahead bring you warmth and happiness.

A note about the new CD version (released 17 January 2023):
The original version was produced very quickly and released on a whim over the festive period. Some interest was shown in the album being released on CD, so when I had a chance, I put together a slightly longer version which extends the second half of the piece. I didn't want to release the same thing twice.

My next album, Tales from Infinity, will be released on CD and download soon.
The next edition of The Ambient Archives will be available to subscribers in a day or two.
