Aeolian String Ensemble

The Aeolian String Ensemble is a group that claims to create all of their sound through the use and electronic modification of the ancient Aeolian harp. The result is a formless whirlpool of ambient sounds. There are no melodies and little to grasp onto; instead they release a flood of swirling tones that engage the deeper parts of the mind. This is what might be called 'hardcore ambient'. It bypasses the residing mind and works on the subconscious directly.
