At the Still Point of the Turning World


At last, the Hypnos label debut of one of the great names in ambient/electronic music, Robert Scott Thompson. At the Still Point of the Turning World is spacious and meditative, yet with a delicate musicality. Robert is Director of the Center for Audio Recording Arts (CARA) in the School of Music at Georgia State University in Atlanta. He also runs the Aucourant Records label, which has released selections of his work in a wide range of styles.

“Robert Scott Thompson writes some of the most provocative ambient music currently available. Truly breathtaking.” - Wind and Wire

“It reminds me of Brian Eno’s ‘Apollo’, and makes a serene finish to another great piece of Thompson’s artistry.” - Electroambient Space
