I hate to be the one to break it to you but he is/was making it up as he goes along, as is everyone else involved. Any attempt at a timeline is going to be messy, contradictory and with errors because they exist in the stories themselves.

This is the way.

Who ordered the can of worms ?

A friend introduced me to the term car washing music - no-one washes their car to music but you might have something on in the background. This seems very much like that only for sitting in front of a screen. It's music that is there, rather than being actively listened to. Muffles other distractions, sets a mood, that sort of thing.

If I am going to listen to Ambient~Electronica~etc then I am going to listen to it. Focus on it, pay attention. This doesn't seem to be that. It's background.

I hope this doesn't come across as negative. It's not meant to be. It seems perfectly pleasant, I just wouldn't actively seek it out as something to listen to.

I will have an (extended) listen. This might make a change from just putting an Eno playlist on shuffle.
