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

Biography

Since the mid-1990s 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 compilations, including a tribute album to Michael Garrison. He also edits and produces videos for local television commercials, infomercials, corporate events, and music videos.

Reception

Jim Brenholts (Allmusic) describes Padilla as "one of the premier Berlin school sequencers in the U.S.A." while Stewart Mason (also Allmusic) calls him a "Berlin-based electronic music guru" which is factually a misleading as Padilla is based in California.

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.
