“I composed this piece in April/May earlier this year (2007). I worked on it for nine days. The challenge was to find the right combination of sounds and to move different textures in and out of each other in a way that would make sense to this piece as a whole. It owes its depth to minimalist composers such as Steve Reich or Terry Riley, although it's a much more simple construction. I finished working on it in the beginning of May, when the surrounding nature reached its full early summer blossom, and I feel this piece more than any other piece I have done reflects nature in bloom. I wanted to have lots of different sounds working together in this composition to create a lush nature-scenery in sound. It's a reflection of the great unbounded joy, wonder and excitement of early summer days.”
Magnificent ethereal ambient sounds. Erik's music is a massive comfort to me, and easily stands shoulder to shoulder with heavyweights such as Boards of Canada. sharkboy66
