Today\u2019s guest deejay is Robert Farrugia<\/a>, co-founder of Complex Holiday<\/a>, an itinerant label for inside-out ambient and sound art tomfoolery.<\/p>\n\n

Robert was our guest deejay last fall<\/a>, and he returns to Soundwave sharing another lustrous mix.<\/p>\n\n

For me, Robert\u2019s mix captures the essence of ambient music, as explained by Brian Eno, who compared ambient music to a painting. You can enjoy a painting on two levels. On one level, you engage with the painting, looking at it, studying it, and reacting to it. But on another level, the same painting is on the periphery of your consciousness. But it\u2019s still there, subtly affecting you.<\/p>\n\n

I\u2019d find myself immersed in Robert\u2019s mix and then be distracted by an email or text message, lost in thought, and slowly becoming aware that Robert had shifted the territory in his sonic landscape. And then the cycle began again.<\/p>\n\n
