BIO

 

My name is Stephen Runkle.
I am The Quiet Earth Music Project.  I have been playing and creating music for over 40 years.

Throughout my high school years, I played in several different bands playing the local festivals and bars in and around the Erie, PA area. In the early 80's I decided to take a break away from the music scene until the late 1980's when I decided to resurface as a solo recording artist doing studio work and producing a bundle of still unheard tracks.

My turning point to the Ambient sound came in 1999 when I found myself sitting at the keyboards and producing what has become my trademark sound, and what others refer to as "Soundscapes for the Mind".

I soon became known as a master of Ambient music, inspired by the likes of Brian and Roger Eno, David Byrne, and Harold Budd. I have completed the soundtracks for 3 full length movies and love creating music that comes from the heart. My music has been recommended for meditation, yoga, and also Reiki treatment sessions.
