<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; "><div>Charles,</div><div><br></div><div>Craig Child's book of short stories, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Soul of Nowhere</span>, might fit the description of "ambient writing." This book describes weeks-long backpacking trips into the deserts of southwestern U.S.A. and northern Mexico. The book always leaves me with a feeling of placement, or context, in that environment---something of a backpacker's <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Music for Airports</span>.</div>

Subject: [microsound] Favorite Writings on Ambient Music?<br><br>Hey-<br><br>I searched through the old list archives, and had an enjoyable time<br>reading a long thread about writings that were "ambient" in character,<br>
but there were almost no references to folks' favorite writings on the<br>genre.<br><br>Any suggestions?<br><br>Thanks, Charles</span><br>
