Silent Night 01:00:00
Silent night, holy night, All is calm, all is bright Round yon virgin mother and child. Holy infant, so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace. Silent night, holy night, Shepherds quake at the sight; Glories stream from heaven afar, Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia! Christ the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born! Silent night, holy night, Son of God, love's pure light; Radiant beams from thy holy face With the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord, at thy birth, Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.

about

Every Christmas since 2011 I have experimented with a long form ambient rendering of Silent Night. The piece has been variously constructed of the following sound elements:

• Two consecutive repetitions of a cylinder music box of the titular carol.
• A brief recording of wind made using a contact mic. Original here: youtu.be/gbxSrvhdDFc
• The Apollo 8 Christmas Eve broadcast.
• Johnny Cash reading texts concerning the birth of Jesus Christ.
• Linus reciting the annunciation to the shepherds during A Charlie Brown Christmas

This version does not feature any of the texts.

about

Radio Landscape

I live in Milwaukee, WI with my wife and our four children. The creation of music has long been an avocational pursuit of mine. The body of work that I offer under the moniker of Radio Landscape has obvious antecedents in American minimalism specifically and electronic music in general.

Thank you for your interest.
