The compilation’s idea was to reflect on Brian Eno’s original definition of ambient music as “ambience… atmosphere… as a surrounding influence: a tint”, and his intention to create “a space to think”. Artist were ask to reflect on where ambient music was at in this age, and it’s desired function.

It’s a great listen and features a hole range of new voices in the Australian Ambient scene. My personal track is under the alias Ambient Lights, and comes in as the second last track on the compilation, I assume they were operating under the principle of leaving the best to last. Just joking, it’s a great listen from start to finish, but here’s my Ambient Lights alias’ submission.

All proceeds go to Seed Mob, Australia’s first and only Indigenous youth-led environmental organisation; and Firesticks Alliance, who provide Indigenous leadership, advocacy and action to protect Country through cultural fire and land management practices.
