Simon Slator - Four Patterns (Ambient Mix)

"Simon Slator was there at the beginning, back when I first became interested in free ambient music on the web. I'm not sure exactly when I discovered his music, but I know that several of his releases (notably Skylight, 6AM, and Four Patterns) became staples of my ambient music library.

I spent many hours in those days trolling websites to find the kind of ambient music that I loved most--gently drifting pads of subtly shifting tones, very minimal and harmonious. I would download almost anything that labeled itself as 'ambient'. I quickly learned, however, that the term is very fluid and at times I found it difficult to find the kind of music I was searching for. In this context, Simon's music was a treasure.

"I’ve been composing music on-and-off for almost twenty years, starting back when I was in my late teens. For the first few years, it was all melodic instrumental music created using very amateur technology; but around 2002, I started learning how to use virtual synthesizers and Digital Audio Workstations. Fortunately, this also coincided with my first experiences of Brian Eno and Steve Roach; and within months, my first proper Ambient piece, “6am”, was born. On release, I hoped that around fifty people in total would download it – the target was smashed in three days! Over the next two years, four more ambient ‘soundscapes’ appeared; but after that, life and family took over and I wouldn’t record anything new for almost ten years. Last year, armed with better technology and a greater musical knowledge, I started making music once again."
