STEVE HILLAGE: MIRRORS OF SOUND
Ambient Avatar still mixing musical alchemy
Steve Hillage was a member of the quintessential edition of the psychedelic band Gong and he unintentionally created one of the blueprints of ambient music with his Rainbow Dome Musick recording some 27 years ago. He has spent the 90s with his partner and synthesist Miquette Giraudy performing techno as System 7 and now have a new configuration for Chill-out music, Mirror System. We look into a mirror darkly in an interview with Steve Hillage & Miquette Giraudy.

SAUL STOKES: HUMMING HARMONICS AND SOLDERED SOUNDSCAPES
Electronic explorer gets melodies from humming voices, not circuits
Saul Stokes is a willful experimenter, but much of his music comes from humming around the house and playing piano. When he puts those melodies and themes through his homemade electronics and computers, it becomes a world of spinning orbits and galactic slides. After years on the avant-garde fringe, Stokes has put out his most accessible and sonically captivating album yet, called VAST. Saul Stokes takes our hands and wanders into the electronic landscape of VAST.
