Emotions untapped, piano keys loop far in the distance, adrift and seeking solace. 36 continues to bewilder in his quest to explore the infinitesimal edges of ambient music.
Time stands still, everything moves in slow motion, the ebb and flow of life wisps by like a warm breeze. Forgotten memories begin to bubble to the surface as if to align with the stars above. Emotions untapped, piano keys loop far in the distance, adrift and seeking solace. The sounds of decay, erosion, and the reversal is in full effect. A rebirth of delicate streams, circuits bloom as they flutter about in the wind. Fluffy clouds below us, this circular cosmic spot continually orbits around our star, as 36 (aka Dennis Huddleston) creates a soundtrack to its mysteries. Subtle horns, drifting drones, and lost tones coalesce as if to greet the listener with comfort. Blissful, intoxicating melodies are rejuvenated and enriched by calm instrumental treatments simmering in the background. Ideal sound-escapes for a lifetime of nostalgic and audible snapshots, Circuit Bloom simply doesn’t wear. Play on repeat start to end or shuffle—these are eleven opaque windows of timeless finesse and execution. Recommended for fans of Dead Can Dance, Rod Julian Modell (ie. The Autonomous Music Project) and the atmospheric side of port-royal et al, 36 continues to bewilder in his quest to explore the infinitesimal edges of ambient music.
Circuit Bloom is available on 3six Recordings.
