About Rigel Orionis

Jim Brenholts aka Rigel Orionis is a relative newcomer to the ambient genre, but already has collaborated with Stephen Philips (Dark Duck Records), Ben Fleury-Steiner (Gears of Sound), and Darren Rogers. Night Heat, described by its creator as "desert ambience," has a shimmering, nocturnal feel, with a pronounced tribal/ethnic sound element. Percussion is just as much a part of it as atmosphere. In 2001 he published the book "Tracks Across The Universe: A Chronology of Ambient and Electronic Music", a chronological collection of his music reviews. He also performed ambient/space music under the Rigel Orionis moniker. After a period of illness he passed away from a heart attack in his home on October 17th, 2009.
