Ambient started as a musical style with Brian Eno, one of whose earliest efforts was 'Ambient 1- Music for Airports' which came out in 1980.
Ambient takes a minimalistic approach to music, using the bare essential elements to bring across a musical idea. The idea in mind is that 'less is more' in this case.
At Tetragrammaton Productions Ltd studio, our mission statement is to bring you the finest in ambient style music, as well as offering other kinds of music such as progressive acoustic jazz and instrumental from synthesized to experimental and avante garde.
We believe that music is not just about a traditional 'ensemble': guitar, bass, keyboard, and drums- although many great ideas have been 'brought to the table' using this format, it is not our wish to continue the traditional, although some traditional elements have been included in our releases.
It is our hope that those who find music in an ambient vein to be interesting will also find this music interesting, as well as thought-provoking..
Music is a language that transcends the barriers of borders and religious, political, and philosophical ideologies. It can convey an idea or a feeling without any intervention from the spoken word, although vocal artists can bring an important and additive element to music depending on the kind of music it is.
To ask where music comes from, we might as well ask where consciousness comes from. Some artists, such as Vangelis claim that the music comes from some other source and flows through them like they are a 'channel'- that the music 'plays them', rather than them playing the music.
Wherever music comes from, the key to the best sound is inspiration. When the music is inspired, it makes all the elements work together, and you can always tell by the results.
You can find music anywhere, but mostly you can find the music inside your soul, which is where it is most at home before it comes out in its own expression.
You can also find music here, and lots of it!
Here at TPL we believe that music should not have to tax the heart or the head in order to be enjoyed.
Our music is mostly instrumental and ambient in order to help with this process. Music can be an avenue to an altered state of consciousness, and should put you in a frame of mind that will carry away all the tensions and the frustrations of the day- we can compare it to a kind of 'meditation' where one can process the events of the day and then just leave them behind in order to move forward.
Whatever your reason for listening to our music, we hope you will enjoy your experience and come back for more..
