Bio / Background

Like Rain Through My Hands" is Emmy-award winning composer and recording artist Michael Whalen's first new ambient project in 7 years and his first non-soundtrack CD for Alchemy Records.

"Like Rain Through My Hands" is both a revisiting of the musical landscape of "Nightscenes" and a bold move in another direction toward a more minimal and spacial sonic approach. Whalen continues, "I think a hallmark of all my music is my love of melody and form. Some would say that these things would be an anathema in ambient music but I would disagree. Brian Eno's music is so full of beautiful form or Harold Budd or Mark Isham's work on "Vapor Drawings". These artists continue to influence my solo and soundtrack work. I think it comes down to control. Ambient music cannot sound like it is being controlled - - it needs to feel organic and patient. There can be no sense of a overlay or an expectation in the music - - it ruins the vibe. However, it needs to change and move you along - - like a journey.
