Notes

(While this release predates the Free Floating Music label, it has been added to the catalog.  It retains its original catalog number– FFAIC-010).

I asked the artists to present something that represents the season to them and see where it carried them.  To say that I’m pleased with the results would be an understatement.  I think the collection works really well.  You’ll just have to listen to it yourself to see.

I want to thank all of the artists for sharing their amazing artistry with me and the world.

I hope that you enjoy this first in what I hope to be an annual series of holiday ambient releases.

I saw an opportunity to merge two of my musical lovesâChristmas and ambientâin a way that shares the wonderful spirit of this time of year.

I find myself especially reflective at this time of year. As we hibernate to await the return of spring, it makes sense for us to reflect on where weâve been and where weâre going. I find that this music helps to create an environment that can enrich that process.

So take some time amidst the bustle and noise of this season to stop a while, enjoy the peaceful canvas that the dark and the snow can create. Let these pieces hold you aloft, reaching for a star and closer look at the divinity within you and around you.

Peace and Merry Christmas
