Abstract: Orange Line is an album of ambient pieces inspired by the atmosphere within the Washington, D.C. Metro system. This set of pieces is the result of my fascination with this metropolitan transit system combined with my explorations into composing ambient music. This paper seeks to clarify the way Orange Line drew inspiration from the D.C. Metro, as well as from past ambient works, including Ambient I: Music for Airports by Brian Eno, Selected Ambient Works Volume II by Aphex Twin, and Long Drove by Simon Scott. Each of these albums served as areas of inspiration in different compositional elements that exist in Orange Line. The resulting work is a sonic experience that combines my fascination with the D.C. Metro with my explorations into composing ambient music in nine relatively short pieces.
