Standing on a Hummingbird, Mark Templeton

I’m usually not a big fan of glitchy type stuff. I find it a bit distracting, and for me a big part of good ambient music is that I sometimes don’t even know it’s playing. Mark Templeton’s Standing on a Hummingbird has a fair amount of glitch in it, but strangely I find it to be comfortable. There are melodies and textures weaving around, and just as one is fragmented, the tension is relieved with something altogether different, like found sounds or new instrumentation. It’s nice stuff, so please have a listen.

Here’s a few mp3 downloads from previous work:
