• Is there anyone out there?

    Longtime lover of ambient music, ever since playing the game Majestic in
    2001. Majestic was an alternate reality game that used AOL Instant
    Messenger, fax, email, and telephone as a means of interacting with the
    game, and they blended real web sites with fake web sites stood up for
    the game.

    While you were playing the game, a mp3 stream would play in the
    background. In the hours that I played the game, I was introduced to
    Aphex Twin, Biosphere, Heavenly Music Corporation, Sensorama, Beaumont
    Hannant, Gas, John Beltran, As One, Boards of Canada, Woob and more.

    To this day, I still have a playlist of artists from that game that I
    listen to while working.

    We're out here, we're just quietly playing in the background.
