The concept of the sonic setting emerges from transformation ambient processes.
These processes involve the development of atmospheres that reflect those of environmental surroundings, whether in natural settings, public spaces, or smaller, more intimate confines.
By intention and application of compositional methods, these represent events as they occur, regardless of design, within particular parameters, or circumstances of time and space. And as representations, they are akin to musical compositions such as classical tone poems, but are not subsumed under musical theory. Rather, they are intended to appeal to aesthetic perceptivity as opposed to musical sensibility.
This is the case with all the albums by Black Mountain School and Ghost Radio Orchestra, as the open, aware listener will easily discern.
