Derrick Stembridge is a Nashville-based composer and producer who has been making ambient music since 1998. Drifting In Silence is his long-running solo piano and ambient project: slowly circling piano, sustained tones and open space, written for deep listening and quiet rooms. In 2004 he founded the independent label Labile Records, which releases his work. Albums such as Away (2019) and the collaboration Pathways (2022), with Drew M. Geiger of E J R M, were mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri. His work has been reviewed by XLR8R, Exposé and Igloo Magazine, which called Fallto "a stone classic"; Electronic Musician picked Fallto for "This Month's Soundtrack" (May 2008). His latest album, Where Waves Begin to Collide (2026), was picked up by Beyond The Barrier radio. His latest single, "Everything Beyond This Moment," aired on RTÉ lyric fm's Ambient Orbit in October 2026, was added to the Spotify playlist Popular Piano Songs 2026, and was described by Kathy Parsons of MainlyPiano as "music to get very pleasantly lost in." His composing credits include music for VH1's Behind the Music and additional music for the Nintendo DS game Ninjatown (2008).
