RE: ending ambient pieces when playing LIVE shows

["Krispen Hartung" <info@krispenhartung.com>]

I sometimes fade out, but I don't think that is a particular creative
way to end a song, unless I'm morphing immediately into my second song.
I like to pick the intro theme that I started with or some other melodic
theme that occurs throughout the song, hit the mute button, and end with
that single part in time. It brings the listener back full circle and
closes the loop.  Two of my looping music videos illistrate this:
Slipstream and Quiddity.

Subject: ending ambient pieces when playing LIVE shows


I'm curious to hear ideas and techniques people have used (or stopped
using) to end an ambient piece of music at a live show.
