This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
In 1971-72, there was no "category" for the music on this album. But that's when Wendy Carlos recorded it, in a studio with a synthesizer, trying to conjure (sometimes accurately, sometimes abstractly) the sounds of nature and the seasons (much like in Vivaldi's orchestral piece THE FOUR SEASONS). It's amazing that this music has not dated-- SONIC SEASONINGS compares very favorably with the best ambient music of the late 1990s: The Orb, Scanner, Howie B., and Bill Laswell, as well the late '70s/early '80s music of Brian Eno ("Music For Films," Music For Airports"). There is no "melody" in the conventional sense, but a flowing, shifting mass of textures that can be gentle, soothing and entrancing. Fresh and unique then or now, SONIC SEASONS can be appreciated as background or foreground sound for the adventurous listener.
