AIRSCULPTURE
When asked what kind of music they play Pete Ruczynski (pete@softbase.co.uk) replies, "most people say we're like mid to late 70's Tangerine Dream, although we prefer to think that we're doing something original but I guess it's the best way for people to get a grip on what to expect."

MICHAEL BERKLEY
Michae's music is best described as

	"Dramatic World Ambient Music, which does not sit comfortably in the 
	confines of a single genre. It incorporates diverse influences from Europe, 
	Africa, the Middle East, and India, blended with innovative electronic processing 
	and sampling. Even with such a wide range of influences, the music is surprisingly 
	organic and unified."
