It’s difficult to classify this album in a specific musical field while it entangles granular abstract electronic minimalism with lighter ambient touches and almost e-guitar power-noises dipped in bleak orbital moves.
Freely moving oceanic electroacoustic wave
From The Longest Winter is a joint album released by a duet involving Giuseppe Verticchio (from Nimh) Tomek Borowski (alias Fomalhaut). Filled with lush soundscapes and freely moving oceanic electroacoustic waves, this new offer is a convincing mind-sonorous travel in thrilling, engulfing, and uplifting sonic textures. Nimh is a well known and long time established multi-faceted ambient project whose musical trajectory borders ethno-ritualism and striking noise ambient with hints of post-rock melodicism. Fomalhaut is a totally new name for me, but I pleasantly discovered its creative input for this Four Hands release. It’s difficult to classify this album in a specific musical field while it entangles granular abstract electronic minimalism with lighter ambient touches and almost e-guitar power-noises dipped in bleak orbital moves. All-in-all, easily recommended for fans of Christian Fennesz, Noveller, Murcof et al—among other hybridized and fuzzed-out sonic sculptures. Fans of adventurous music for grinding electronics and windy galactic minimalism (with dramatic tension and softer moves) will find here a strong interest.
From The Longest Winter is available on Zoharum. [Bandcamp]
