Artist History
Formed in 1995, Matt Chinn started Firmament as a solo ambient project. After the release of the debut album "Open-Eyed Ascension" on Velvet Empire, Matt joined forces with Gabriel Chapman, another ambient/trance artist who also worked with his own dance project Astral Project. Gabriel's evolving digeridoo playing was incorporated into the mix. In 1998, Firmament performed a 60-min. live show at the Orlando Museum of Art during an Electronic Artist showcase. The performance, entitled "LIVE Ascension," is now available in its entirety on mp3.com. |
