Just heard this on StillStream - a beautiful piece, quintessential ambient music. Michael Sandler is one of my favorites ...

Oh yeah, this is the real deal. Not just some drone running where the composer comes back from a smoke and changes the pitch then goes back out of the room. I couldn't help this nagging thought however that I've heard this before or that it reminded me of someone...something ..and then it hit me - Steve Howe. Very Yes like atmospheric quality. Quite minimal as far as effects go and just very pretty and ambient.
Highly recommended even w/ the Howe reference.

With just a guitar and delay pedal, no less...this hour-long single composition shows the creative use of dynamics and layered delays to create an atmosphere of brightness and air that represents the essence of ambient music.

Sandler's use of tone modulation and dynamics give the piece a peaceful movement and rich texture that are difficult to believe have been accomplished with a single guitar, minimal effects processing, and no multi-tracking. Yet, therein lies the charm of this piece.
