Acoustical
Scenery is a hynotic 53 minute
journey into the world of
instrumental and environmental
sound.
Digitally
recorded, this album presents the
melodic musical compositions of
Steve Middleton coloured with the
tranquil sounds of nature. The
resulting textures create an
atmosphere of dream-like
relaxation, blended with a
musical sense of adventure. This
recording is designed to
stimulate both memory and
imagination, allowing the
listener the space and freedom to
recreate some of life's most
pleasing moments. A vast array of
wildlife species and the world
they inhabit is waiting to be
discovered within the timeless
context of Acoustical Scenery.
Augmented by rich acoustic
instrumentation, these peaceful
compositions will sooth and
invigorate - each and every time
they are heard.
