There are not many artists who had such an important influence on today's Ambient music as the outstanding piano player and composer Harold Budd. Albums like his classical "Pavilion of Dreams" or his cooperations with Brian Eno ("The Pearl") are well know to many Electronic and Ambient musicians of the last decades. "Lost in the Humming Air" is Oktaf's musical tribute to the man, released in the 50th year of Mr. Budd's composing career. The label invited some of its favorite artists to contribute a song that - in some way - resembles the music of Harold Budd or channels the influence he had on them as musicians, with illustrous contributors such as Mokira, Taylor Deupree, Deaf Center, Christopher Willits, Biosphere, Porn Sword Tobacco and Bvdub. All artists who contributed to this release donated their tracks. The profit of this CD will go to a charity project chosen by Harold Budd.
