I’m pondering a shift from using my artist name “Interstitial” to using my real name from now on. To me, Interstitial was a great name and sort of defined the music I wrote at that time.
In the 1990′s I used to describe my own music as “ambient techno industrial piano” – which admittedly is a slightly odd combo and a little tongue in cheek. One of the main reasons I used Interstitial for a long time was because I thought of my music as “between genres”. I used to have on my website around 2001-2003 a “between” statement which I

First, let me say that I’m very proud to have been asked to release this album on John Koch-Northrup’s flagship label, relaxedMACHINERY. I look forward to releasing with John again in the near future and expect that you’ll discover lots of new and exciting music on rM.

I’d like to welcome Chris Russell to Relaxed Machinery. He’ll be releasing an album called “Frozen” at some point in 2010 (date to be determined). I’ve been listening to it frequently this week and it’s truly excellent ambient work. He released two albums in 2009 on AtmoWorks: “Aralu” and “Merge”. ( Chris Russell at the AtmoWorks store )
I look forward to working with Chris in 2010!
