I decided to challenge myself. What if I combined ambient soundscapes and classical music? Would that work out? This proved to be more difficult than I expected. It proved to be much easier to combine abstract atmospheric music than ambient music with ‘program music’ like classical. Maybe because I wanted to retain an introspective atmosphere, but also include some ‘tension – release dynamics’ to avoid the mix becoming too ‘easy listening’.
Would it possibly appeal to an ambient music-oriented audience? And what would aficionados of classical music think of it? Is this a musical blasphemy? But then again, I found myself listening to it regularly, enjoying it for what it has become. So why not publish it and see what happens? Let’s see.
