Well, folks. I've had this music sitting on my hard drive for the longest time and decided, as a sort of New Year resolution of sorts, to just let out into the wild.

I feel somewhat sheepish releasing my own work via my own label, so this is simply self-released.

I've played various tracks on my show, so there won't be anything egg-cracking new. But I hope that you might enjoy some of…

Posted this over on the Free Floating blog, but wanted to be sure it got the proper attention here as well.

I just feel compelled to help out one of our own in the free/CC/ambient music community.

Ambient artist Bobby Jones (AKA I’ve Lost) recently underwent surgery that has resulted in complications and has left him with mounting medical…

I want one!

The other morning I was hit by a bolt of inspiration, “It’s time for another Free Floating compilation.” There have been the two Christmas compilations, and the label’s inaugural release, Conception, is nearly a year ago. So it’s time for something new.

So I am here issuing an official call for submissions for the next Free Floating compilation: a.m.

The theme for this…

German electronic magazine Beat highlighted the Conception compilation in its December 2011 issue. The article is a summary of music available on the net.  It’s not a review or anything, but it’s nice to get a mention.

On September 15, Free Floating Music released its third ambient album, the sublime Beyond and Before by Mirada.

The collection features two approximately half hour pieces of minimally moving, serene ambient music.  These are some beautiful works by Mirada that create some wonderfully subtle--yet powerful--atmosphere.

From the release page:

I first want to thank those of you who wished me a happy birthday.

Whether I responded personally or not, your well wishes are taken to heart.  It's good to know that I'm in folks thoughts once in awhile.

I'll also note that I spent a good part of the day working with some new music software.  I decided to use some of the money that my mother sent my (yay moms!) to purchase the Intermorphic "Desktop Creativity…
