ambient.02@hyperreal

The Storm Within, a live improvisation, recorded with ambient electronic artists dreamSTATE, features cheryl on cello and treatments, with additional cello treatments by Steven Sauve. This track is available on CD for the first time - on ambient.02@hyperreal - a double-CD ambient compilation from aquaFM, which also features tracks by Stephen Philips, Forrest Fang, Numina, Craig Padilla, Falling You, Ashera and many other great ambient artists.

"For this song, which was recorded live at the famous Ambient Ping, dreamSTATE teamed up with cheryl o. This results in a very beautiful, slightly chaotic-sounding song of immense beauty."

"Featuring such luminaries in the scene as dreamSTATE, Sylken, ARC and cheryl o, PiNG AMBiENCE is a fine example of the music that has made THE AMBiENT PiNG so highly regarded. Featuring a variety of tones, emotions, textures, PiNG AMBiENCE is sure to bring more attention to what is fast becoming one of the most exciting and vital electronic music scenes going."
