| | Blogcritics.org: On Ambient Orbit |
 | | It is quiet music assembled from electronic pulses, throbs, short melodies, mysterious samples, bits of exotica, all with the goal of creating a texture of mental and emotional quietude. |
 | | In Pieces, Orbit has created a ravishing ambient masterpiece out of electronic versions of classical pieces by Vivaldi, Beethoven, Handel, Ravel, and well as more contemporary pieces by Barber, Cage, Gorecki, and Mascagni. |
 | | Using virtually no percussion other than a few throbbing pulses, Orbit has interpreted these pieces, recreating the original orchestral sound of some, completely reshaping others, all on his own with electronic keyboards and his trusty computer. |
