Chris Meloche
"It was just after midnight on a Friday night and I was scanning down the FM dial listening to Detroit radio stations with a pair of headphones strapped on. Amidst the rock, country and MOR music I suddenly stumbled across something very odd. It was a steady stream of strange electronic whirs and whistles. As I sat transfixed to the sounds filling my head, I heard the some real-world images amidst the sonic collage... jet engines, deep breathing and, most obviously, fragments of various national anthems. For an impressionable teenager, these sounds came as a revelation."
Chris Meloche talking about his ephipanal moment with ambient music. His site includes all six hours of the Reoccuring Dreams of the Urban Myth, also known as "Loop6." Meloche's work has been floating out there in the ether for more than a decade now and you might have heard a whisper of it already. If not, you should let it loop through your speakers some evening.
