a selection of dark ambience

a dark ambient music created by "painting" on a canvas of sound

The idea for the album came around after a visit to an exhibition of John Cage“s art work at Glasgow University. There was no music at this exhibition but I was inspired to write these songs by the art work from Cage and I made an obvious connection that I could „paint“ simple drawings on to the „canvas“ of music. So I designed a „flat“ body of music and „painted“ on to this body simple and abstract ideas and shapes to create the final tracks.

a dark ambience, varied and intense

Salvation is Andrew Henry's 22nd release as a solo artist, whose music has been described as "sweeping, cosmic ambient" with "slow, enveloping waves of velvety sound that characterize warm drone" (Matthew Sweeney, Foreign Accents). The album is an atmospheric and morphing collage of drones, soft piano pieces, and hypnotic loops created through sampling, time-stretching, cassette manipulation, and minor improvisation.
