HOUR LONG ENVIRONMENTS NEWEST AT THE TOP

“Hard to pick a favorite because the entire album is so rich, textured and lush. It's been a godsend for me because deep sleep is a rarity. If I could listen to only one piece of music for the rest of my life, this would be it.” - Bandcamp listener on Skies of Night

I've been creating places out of sound for more than a decade now. I love getting lost in the process of building environments layer by sonic layer until a place with its own character emerges. Many are meant to conjure places I have been, and many are foreign, mysterious landscapes. The darkest ones are the oord series.

The Hours collects five of my favorites into a five-hour album, and Skies of Night (my most popular work on Bandcamp) is a four-hour journey through darkness.

Scroll down to explore more than twenty hours of music, some free to download!

The Hours

Several years ago a Bandcamp fan wrote to me asking for longer versions of my (already!) long ambient songs. I obliged and started putting hour-long versions of specific pieces he requested on Bandcamp. I called them Read more

Skies of Night

tom eaton

As the days get shorter the nights grow longer and my musical tendencies go towards darker themes. These four hour-long works in D minor (some would say the saddest of all keys) fit together nicely as chapters of night... Read more

oord 21

The latest from the loft. Nights are still cool, the rain and wind move the fresh leaves... the world has gone green but something hasn't settled yet. Seasons evolve from each other without clarity and summer comes in waves as the spring slowly lets go.

the sun returns

tom eaton

The deep cold seems to have passed and though there's still a foot of snow on the ground the days are mostly filled with the sound of melting. It's been a more oppressive winter than any I can remember, and in fact it's Read more

oord 20

tom eaton

Another unknown place to spend time in. Oord 20 arrived as the spring equinox arrived... which is totally odd as the last oord showed up on the winter solstice. Who's pushing the pedals on the season cycle?

Oord 20 breathes slowly, emerging from the deep sleep of winter with a dream of sunlight but with no faith that the cold has gone.

oord 19

Another unknown place to spend time in. Oord 19 creates its own dark, mysterious space inspired by the longest night of the year. The days grow longer from here on out.

Part I (October, 2025): A slowly evolving watercolor journey through an hour-long rainstorm. In the fall the rain arrived here for a week and the dark days felt like a sign of the coming winter.
