Extremely similar in construction, mood and intent to Emdot's other song, Tempera Loop, Aeolian Planes is a simple song construced of a small number of melodic and rhythmic layers performed on a software harp emulation synthesizer. The tuning scale of the instrument used is an Aeolian scale, which gives this song its haunting and vaguely foreign sound. As in Tempera Loop, the composition is centered around the pattern presented in the first sound we hear. Other layers were then added one at a time to fit the original pattern. Read more on Last.fm.

Emdot_Ambient is an American musician, composer and sound designer born in Germany in 1958. His musical inspiration came in the 1970s as recording artists around the world began utilizing electronic instruments. Emdot's work has since explored most permutations of electronic music from 1970s style space music to pure abstraction, drone, ambient, trance and other dance oriented electronica. Emdot_Ambient began exploring software synthesis and internet based music distribution in 1998 as a member of mp3.com, where he published two albums: Synesthetic Mass and Sof2k. Since that time he has focused on producing individual tracks and audio engineering/production work for the award winning group Granville (New Music magazine's 2006 Best New Artist in the College genre). Emdot's album Tablets of Destinies, a collection of songs he composed since 2004, appears here on Last.FM in its first public release. Read more on Last.fm.
