What makes Jambient different?

What Does Jambient Sound Like?

Jambient is an incredibly flexible instrument - and it is an instrument - and every player brings his or her own sound to it. You can hear some audio samples here - you'll need an MP3 player to hear them. Or check out Will Green's all Jambient CD Through Curved Space. Then, if you're intrigued, you can get your own copy of Jambient and download the original source files, and make your own variations. The page also tells you where to find sound samples - there are thousands on the web.
