Water Music by William Delano

I first made 'Water Music' at home in Sausalito in the Summer of 1989.

This was long after I gave up music for a life in academia, and I made it purely for my own enjoyment.

I had no intention of releasing it, and in fact I forgot that it existed until a couple of weeks ago, when I was looking through some of the old four-track tapes in my archive.

A range of digital plugins helped me remove some of the tape hiss and give it the celestial treatment I couldn't achieve with the somewhat primitive equipment I was using thirty years ago.

I hope you enjoy it.

Californian-based synth artist William Delano recorded nine albums of relaxating ambient music in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

He has recently begun recording and releasing new music for the first time since 1984, including the new album 'Southernmost' (a collaboration with the UK artist Riverrun) and 'Sacred Waters' with Alan Lidden.
