Summer night air

About Me

Summer night air started in summer 2003. I seek to make music which is simple, warm and friendly! I am not interested in the clinical, precious, precise, cold and 'oh so serious' nature of some ambient music.
If you think reviews matter here are some:
"worth tracking down if your taste leans towards the expansive, the minimally melodic and the distinctly dewy-eyed...artless but never quite gauche, 3 is a gentle but genuine pleasure." THE WIRE FEB 2006
"gorgeously woozy, constructed around lonely pulses of delight; its warm drone bathes you in a honeyed glow and it's minimal aesthetic is deceptively simple. In short a glorious release." Album of the month. THE CRACK DEC 2005
"It's very nice" My mam, 10 minutes ago
"like spritualized at their most ambient or eno at the airport" NARC TOP 20 BANDS IN THE NORTH EAST ARTICLE APRIL 2006
"Minimal drones with a sense of naivety and innocence that's so beautiful it could ooze out of your hi-fi speakers and drip onto your carpet" DISTRACTION RECORDS
Thanks to Steven and Darren at Distraction records for probably being more passionate about my music than me!!

Sounds Like: Honest answer: C,F,A,C,G played on synthetic keyboard strings (with a little bit of guitar) through silly amounts of delay and reverb.
