Fred Eerdekens plays with light and shadow using a variety of materials — from plants to wire to cereal boxes — to spell out words. What looks like a simple arrangement of objects takes on a whole new meaning once light hits it in just the right spot.

Unseen — For Nihon | Various (mp3 / flac)
After learning about the tragic events of the Japanese earthquake on March 11th my wife, Hollie, and I were talking about ways to help.

“For Nihon” features some of the premier names in ambient / experimental music. 100% of the profits from the sale of this album will be donated to the Japan Earthquake Relief Fund set up by New York’s Japan Society.

    Ottmar, was Morning Arrival at Goa only available for 24 hrs? When the music box opens…it says ‘no file found’…I did reboot…and the same thing…and when I hit ‘download here’ it only makes a sound. Hope you are settled nnd refreshing well at home. Thanks for everything!

    No, just checked and it works fine. Seems to work for everyone else as well. Did you click on the embedded audio or the download link? Did you check your browser’s download folder?

    I’m sure not surprised to see Rueters news saying that Santa Fe and Honolula have the freshest air in the United States. I thought our SDak. air was fresh till I went there. I miss it.
