“Infinite Ambient: Empty Beach” is the third in what will be a year-long series of albums featuring music from the Infinite Ambient® website (www.infiniteambient.com). The Infinite Ambient website and apps will be shutting down in January of 2027, and I wanted to make the music on the site available here on Bandcamp, as one-hour albums available in CD quality.
The last full day of summer felt like the right day to release “Infinite Ambient: Empty Beach”, and the time spent mastering this album brought back good memories of the original “Empty Beach” performance, which ended up on the same CD set “Hidden Shores/Empty Beach”.
In the Spring of 2020, i was supposed to play a live, on-air concert in the studios of WXPN for the Star's End radio program. Because of the pandemic, that live event was cancelled. So- I created “Empty Beach” and sent it to Star’s End host Chuck van Zyl, to play live on air at the time I normally would have played, had I made it to Philly that year.
Knowing that the listening audience for Star’s End enjoys a late night soundtrack (Star's End airs from 1AM to 6AM Sunday mornings), I created a collection of songs that would be suitable for very relaxed listening- and none more than the title track “Empty Beach”, which carried with it a sense of peace and solitude.
In listening to this one-hour “Infinite Ambient: Empty Beach” album during the mastering process, I could hear that peace and solitude, and found myself drifting off in the most enjoyable way. The sound of the waves supports the music perfectly, and I did my best to make sure that the music wouldn’t overwhelm the waves.
