wh101 Webbed Hand Presents String Ambient
Our first compilation for 2008 presents a facet of ambient music that is often overlooked in favor of the more electronic or synthesized soundscapes. Here we have an eclectic collection of works featuring a broad variety string instruments, usually but not always treated to effects. In the artist credits below we’ve provided information about the instruments used, and you can see they range from the familiar to the exotic.
wh099 The Nature of Light – Shores of Jupiter
The Nature of Light returns to Webbed Hand with this remarkable new album of orchestral ambient soundscapes. Put on some headphones, close your eyes, and listen to a movie unfold in your mind.
wh098 Audio Gourmet – Earth’s Exit Door
Audio Gourmet returns to Webbed Hand with a conceptual ambient album called Earth’s Exit Door. These very subtle soundscapes reveal a lot of detail the closer you listen.
wh097 Tree Helicopter – Blatant Beast
After an absence of several years, Tree Helicopter returns to Webbed Hand, now venturing deeper into a musique concrete/noise style. This work is more abstract than that found on “Moon Calf” (wh014), but at the same time more unified and perhaps more accessible.
wh096 Drone Wallah – Problem-Reaction-Solution
“Problem,” “Reaction” and “Solution” are long-form ambient melodic (organ) drone compositions by Drone Wallah (C.P. McDill of Saluki Regicide, Djinnestan, etc). Nice all-purpose drone pieces you can play quietly, loudly, or any way you please.

This debut album by Alceste features a complex and melancholic blend of dark ambient and melodic elements, illustrating the arc of a fateful relationship.

wh093 Drone Wallah – Owl and Rooster
“Owl and Rooster” are long-form ambient melodic (organ) drone compositions by Drone Wallah (C.P. McDill of Saluki Regicide, Djinnestan, etc). Nice all-purpose drone pieces you can play quietly, loudly, or any way you please.
wh092 Drone Wallah – The Foggy Dew
“The Foggy Dew” is a long-form ambient melodic (organ) drone composition by Drone Wallah (C.P. McDill of Saluki Regicide, Djinnestan, etc). A nice all-purpose drone piece you can play quietly, loudly, or any way you please.
