History/Biography
A Thousand Years is the eponymous debut album from 27-year-old hard ambient musician/producer Greg Pearson. This release was recorded in the winter of 2003 at Horizon Sound in Alexandria, VA. Pearson had previously played guitar in the Washington, DC-based hard rock band Umber for a few years before the band split up, at which point Greg created the Horizon Recordings label.
While many of the musical ideas on A Thousand Years were in demo form for several months leading up to the recording of the album, Pearson's project quickly came to fruition after the loss of a family member. The recording was designed—from the repeated melody in the beginning, middle and end, the song titles, the building flow of the record, the ethereal tones, and even the album artwork—to speak to things associated with death. The recording also provided an opportunity to unlock the mysteries behind eMagic's Logic Audio 6 and a new Macintosh laptop.
