Deep
Chill Network's infatuation with relaxation music and the use
of music to relax, has led them into the dark realms of sleep
and dreams. With the use of synthesizers and effects, they weave
a unique brand of neu-chill designed to calm the frayed nerves.
Influenced by the work of Pete Namlook, Tetsu Inoue, and Steve
Roach, their music features subtle ambiences with a strong emphasis
on chill.
Deep Chill Network really has defined "deep chill" on
Dark Duck Records. Their "Cyber Sleep" series has laid
the framework for their trademark sound. The cyber sleep series
is intended to be listened to while relaxing or sleeping and
will always calm and relax. After their 4th installment in the "Cyber
Sleep" series, Deep Chill Network has now embarked on some
different projects. The "Dreams" series has gotten
under way nicely with their first three installments, "Dreams
1", "Dreams 2", and "Dreams 3." Now
that the first 3 volumes of Cyber Sleep have been deleted, Deep
Chill Network plans to continue the Cyber Sleep series. Cyber
Sleep 5 is set for release in 2004. With a #6 to follow later
this year. The CD Heart of the Tundra, has been well received
around the world and has been featured on several radio programs
including Stars End. The followup to Tundra titled "Deep
Freeze" hit the streets and made some waves and now the
final volume in what is now being called the Tundra Series is
finally available "Yukon." A bit spacier then it's
predecessors, it's still an outstanding collection of extremely
chilled material.
As well as Tundra and the Dreams stuff, D.C.N.
have contributed an exclusive track for the Ambient Landscapes
Volume 2 compilation out in May 2000 as well as a track for
the "Ambient01@hyperreal" compilation
out in October 2000.
