Written as an inner soundtrack where delicately moving melodies rise from velvet-like abstract electronics.
Cyclical echoing minimal melodic scintillations
Francis Gri, mastermind behind the indie label Krysalisound but also alchemist of micro-electronic thrills / ambient miniatures in minimalist mode has recently published a quite noticeable body of recordings soberly titled While. The music is clearly lodged at the confluence of ambient sweetness for lush textures and modern classicism. It carries on the path he already approached in terms of compositional technics and emotional motifs. Written as an inner soundtrack where delicately moving melodies rise from velvet-like abstract electronics. The melodic component is mostly piano/guitar centric with detached aerial repetitive notes falling like calm sparse water drops. It emotionally captures fragile introspective moments with a sense of vague reveries and grieving solemnity.
While evokes continuously serene and impressionistic sound motifs for long sustained chords, cyclical echoing minimal melodic scintillations—apparently static sound forms—but which admit a palette of nuances and acoustic colors as well. Slowly enveloping and glit-esque ambient ballads under a velveting imaginary garden of infinite quietness. This can perfectly be associated to the sorrowing neoclassical quietness of some reflective ambient works from Anthené, Peter Broderick, Hakobune, and Ghost & Tapes.
While is available on Bandcamp.
