Craig Padilla

Craig Padilla is an American ambient musician and film score composer, actor, and video producer from Redding,[1] California.[2]

Since the mid-90's he has released more than a dozen albums with music primarily inspired by the Berlin School of electronic music and space music on the labels Space For Music, Spotted Peccary Music, Lotuspike, Fruits de Mer Records, and Groove Unlimited, and contributed to numerous compilations, including a tribute album to Michael Garrison.

He also edits and produces videos for local television commercials, infomercials, corporate events, and music videos (he created the video for Bruce Turgon's and Philip Bardowell's collaborative project PLACES OF POWER) through his production company known as Craig Padilla Creative Video and Sound Productions.

Reception

Jim Brenholts (Allmusic) describes Padilla as "one of the premier Berlin school sequencers in the U.S.A."[3] while Stewart Mason (also Allmusic) calls him a "Berlin-based electronic music guru"[4] which is factually a bit misleading, as Craig Padilla lives and performs live in California.[2]

Discography

The discography includes only albums released on compact disc (except "strange fish 1", "Sonar", and "Short Circuits" which are vinyl only).

[...] Padilla's atmosphere is deep and expansive. His sound design uses silence and empty spaces as integral elements of the soundscape. This is the ultimate icescape. It is also essential minimalism.
