The. former West Vancouver man now lives in Munich where he and musical partner Stefan Schramm are quietly becoming top sellers in the burgeoning field of natural sound- scape music. Kvarnstrém says its not New Age -—~ to him the genre conjures Kitaro or synthesizer-laden aural wallpaper. It's also not Muzak. The music demands and rewards the listener with more than a narcotic prop-up. Kvarnstrém met Schramm while both were studying at the University of Victoria in 1989. They work from individual Macintosh ‘computer-operated stu- dios in Munich. Kvarnstr6m was in North Vancouver carlier this week and here's some of what he had to say: How did you get into sound- scapes?

We're basically keeping to the North American set of animals.” You’ve gone platinum for the ‘releases Pacific Blue I and If (in Single Vision 06 Complete extras excluded PES EE RTS OPO Canada that represents sales of over 160,000). Why do you think these discs are su popular? ‘ Kvarnstrém: “I feel there is real- ly a need out there. It’s a fast pace. This helps people to slow down and unwind and maybe get back ‘to nature, ; “fm not saying though that this: is going to bring about a personal change in an individual after he’s lis- tened to it. We've been told by a lot of listeners that the musical sound- scape products are the type of prod- ucts that would typically be put into the car stereo while driving. They love to relax while they're driving and it’s not too relaxing that they fall asleep. : “T guess the reason Blue | and Blue Ii have done so well is that the time we came out there weren't a lot. of whale CDs out there. If there were, the existing ones were solely whale sounds. You can't listen’ to. these for any length of. time.
