Emily A. Sprague

Emily A. Sprague is an American musician and sound artist whose work traverses the realms of ambient music, minimalism, and experimental electronic soundscapes. Her evocative compositions often draw inspiration from the natural world, weaving field recordings with delicate synth melodies and textural acoustic elements to create immersive auditory environments. Sprague has developed a distinct voice within the ambient genre, one that invites listeners to engage with the subtleties of sound and the nuances of emotive expression.

Her catalog of releases showcases a thoughtful and introspective approach to music-making. "Hill, Flower, Fog" (2020) is a reflective and meditative record that manifests Sprague’s fascination with the intersection of environment, memory, and the passage of time. With albums like "Mount Vision" (2018) and "Water Memory" (2017), she continues to explore serene soundscapes that serve as aural contemplation spaces for listeners. Her work, which also includes "Mesa" (2020), "full/new" (2017), and "Friend Forest" (2017), is characterized by an organic ebb and flow of ambient textures that echo the tranquil beauty of nature, resonating well beyond the immediate listening experience. Emily A. Sprague’s craft is not just about creating music but about sculpting aural experiences that linger in the mind long after the sounds fade away.
