This ambient section and the cylinder archive will be gradually updated with much more music to come

Creation of this music is through a process of what we call "Simulative Imagination," or simulating the imaginary, a synthetic formation of

experiential, perceptual and imaginary states for emotional evocation which incorporates these 4 categories:

Defining Characteristics of the Music:

Artificial Aural Imagination:

Also named synthetic or machine imagination, this is defined as the artificial simulation of human imagination through sound using special

purpose machinery, computer programs and artificial neural networks.

Binaural:

Refers to the normal way we perceive sound. "Bi" meaning both or 2 and "aural" referring to the sense of hearing. Soundwaves reach the ear

at different time intervals and volume levels and this auditory information is then processed in the brain's auditory cortex (part of the

temporal lobe). "Binaural recordings" is a method of recording sound that uses 2 microphones to create the sensation of being in the room or

environmental space where the music is present. The technology goes back to 1881 with the théâtrophone (theatre phone), invented by

Clément Ader consisting of carbon telephone microphones that were installed along the the Opera Garnier. "Binaural recordings" are used

to create a sense of 3D spatial realism and distance that is optimised for headphones.

Ambient Music:

Relates to our sonic surroundings, emphasising tonality, atmosphere, melodic repetition and most importantly unobtrusiveness from layers

of aural textures. There is also an association to the ambience of environmental field recordings. "Ambient music" can help to bring about a

sense of reflection and meditative awareness or elicit past memories and emotional connectivity.

Generative Music:

Is a term defined by Brian Eno to describe a type of music that is different, ever-changing, and systemic (created by a system). The system

can refer to a set of things, principles or instructions working together as parts of a mechanism or an interconnecting network to make a

unifying whole. Generative music is also 1 of 2 main sub fields in the area of 'Music Machine and Deep Learning,' with the other being 'Music Information Retrieval' (MIR) an interdisciplinary science of informational retrieving to categorise, direct or construct music.
