These spherical, dub-heavy, technoid soundscapes also engulf everything in their path, slowly progressing down various ridges, valleys, and depressions along the sloping terrain. Walking through surrounding fog, the throbbing beats and atmospheric textures hypnotize our senses.
Surreal subterranean dub-techno trails
Distant pulses reverberate as a dense fog descends through towering pine tree hills, its saturated air droplets engulfing every nook and crevice. These spherical, dub-heavy, technoid soundscapes also engulf everything in their path, slowly progressing down various ridges, valleys, and depressions along the sloping terrain. Walking through surrounding fog, the throbbing beats and atmospheric textures hypnotize our senses; it’s an essential listening experience.
As we consume these 14 therapeutic audio structures—like mycelium deep beneath our feet—they also begin to form multi-sensory foundations. Perhaps this is a sign that the the storm has passed. Desolate melodic veils envelop everything around us, similar to the fog, as time-stretched waves cascade and resonate. Reverb Delay’s ability to create surreal subterranean dub-techno trails seamlessly travel hundreds of miles below the surface and in all directions. And from the same connected root systems that have now fully formed, all of these pieces are complimented by dewy textures, tones, and timbres that we can literally feel.
Although the storm that has passed, it’s also a time of clarity; an opportunity to venture far into the mist and find new paths; to uncover new elements and sub-structures we were unaware even existed. These moments reveal themselves throughout The Storm Has Passed where translucent melodic fibers, glitch mechanisms, and refined techno threads permeate our surroundings. It’s a mighty force, indeed, to absorb the nuances of life slightly shifting, voices ricochetting off one another, and wide-angled percussive strands stirring our senses blissfully. Everything that seemed to drift vaporously above ground, now slowly and eventually becomes wholly embedded within terra firma. A totally engaged and recommended album.
