clocolan :: When The Emptying Sun Filled the Sky (Red Pan) — [concise]

Sound here leans toward airy abstraction; When The Emptying Sun Filled the Sky glides through drone and slow motion, maintaining a subtle pull throughout. It plays like a companion for solitude, offering a calm passage inward, where stillness feels both intimate and restorative.

A clear affection for aged sonic relics

Emlyn Ellis Addison’s clocolan project has uncovered some of the most compelling, fractured ambient and hauntological excursions in recent years, shaped by distinctly off-kilter electronic passages that feel worn at edges, gently echoing distant pasts. When The Emptying Sun Filled the Sky unfolds as a slow, shifting journey; from Providence, Rhode Island, Addison offers a flowing sequence of rugged forms, dispersed rhythms, and a clear affection for aged sonic relics.

Elusive, reflective, and unhurried, traces of Sandison and Eoin surface in ways that remain restrained yet palpable. Each of these nine pieces moves with a quiet insistence, drawing inward toward buried recollections and half-lit moments, balancing contemplation with a sense of search. A soft unease lingers throughout, as delicate synth lines drift far off, leaving a feeling of suspension, until clocolan gently settles everything into place.
