[microsound] Favorite Writings on Ambient Music?

[Michael Palace]

I found House of Leaves very ambient for me.  I was given it by a friend and 
read while my wife was away for two months.  Alone in a house in New 
Hampshire during the winter can be very interesting.  It inspired me to work 
on a soundtrack oriented concept album.  I hope this is not considered 
self-promotional here (as I understand the rules of the group), but here is 
the link to the work that House of Leaves inspired.  It is a free download.

Quote from the description " Around the same time I read House of Leaves by 
Mark Z. Danielewski. I'd like to say that that excellent book influenced 
this project. It did and it did not. I felt that the soundtrack to such a 
house in the book would be single sounds, placed in an audio field of dead 
silence, with not even reverberations of the space that one was in."
