Polaris reaches an impenetrable sense of mystery—ineffable, doom-esque, concrète and intangible.
Reaching an impenetrable sense of mystery
Prolific and craft-based experimental ambient duet Gamardah Fungus is back with a new tape that will easily catch the attention of listeners who are moved by very personal offerings from modern days DIY electronic music galaxy. Often reviewed on Igloo, Golden Ratio Frequencies never cease to impress and enlighten my listening capacity, release after release with meticulously blended micro ambient noisy sceneries, occasionally doused with rare emotional intensity. Deeply shaken by the loss of a friend, the duo elaborates here a deeply sorrowful musical threnody, legitimately soul-stirring and filled with eerie handy-craft processed sound textures, dusky echoing guitar tricks and aleatoric sound manipulations. The whole thing reaches an impenetrable sense of mystery—ineffable, doom-esque, concrète and intangible. A worthy and sedative listening experience. Beginners in Gamardah Fungus’ guitar-centric and sinuous ambient soundscapes should start with Natural Storm.
Polaris is available on Golden Ratio Frequencies. [Bandcamp]
