Feat. Robert Rich playing flutes on Track 2. The Sleepwalker's Ocean, Forrest Fang's first 2-CD studio album, is a hypnotic deep-ambient exploration of the fantastical and elusive realm of the subconscious. Fang gave free reign to his intuitive and instinctual side on this release, allowing the sonic landscape to drift into his interior world of elusive and impressionistic thoughts and images. As Fang says: "To me the ocean is not only a symbol of emptiness and space, but also one of unknown depth and mystery. It is much like a dream that seems so real and vast yet is formless because it originates in the mind. For this release, I took a more open-ended approach, allowing in more spontaneous sonic ‘accidents' and textures, especially on my first long-form piece, ‘An Alternate Ocean (The Salton Sea).' The layered soundscape of my ‘ocean,' populated with these accidental characters, ebbs and flows in a vast imaginary somnambulent space."
