ROSS HARPER - "AIR"

“I see machinery, I see a man of light holding a key of light, surrounded by the huge machinery, like giant cogs and pistons, he stands on a raised platform amid the machinery, the colours around are browns and shades of darkness, the browns are like beautiful shades of rust, then I notice a slender female figure is kneeling with her head bowed, she is wearing a dark cloak with the hood covering her face, then I see in her hands she is holding a small bouquet of flowers, her spirit is full of stillness, then the man of light anoints the kneeling one with the key of light and there is then an explosion of light.” 

This is what Ross Harper describes as a major inspiration for his Ambient Girl record - a deconstructed take on ambient and dance music that seems to float above the floor with no strings attached. Recorded in North Wales near where Led Zepelin wrote and recorded many of their iconic songs, an entire masala of influences find their way into Ambient Girl. We hear a steady hi hat percussion tethered to an ascendant synth line and deep kick. Crystal arpeggios float throughout, recreating aurally the image of a North Wales coastline being enveloped by a thick fog. It's a deep and pretty mysterious composition that is easy to sink into.
