[Release page] LPF12 is a plural and complex ambient based project formed by Sascha Lemon back in early 90s. Numerous albums have published on the highly active German label Ionium Records. LPF12 has densely written a great variety of modern experimental-spacious-neuro ambient pieces, featuring meditative qualities but also encompassing conceptual avant-garde industrialism. Whiteout is a double album and can be described as a soundtrack which depicts the mood and isolationist atmosphere which prevails in the icy-static environment of advanced scientific researches released in Research stations. Perfectly evocative, the musical score oscillates between tonal sounding tapestries, processed electronic programs and deep droning resonances. Each track reveals an impressively dynamic range of sonorous effects, including very cerebral-abstract motives sometimes punctuated by gradually melodious lines and repetitive-ritual rhythms (the last minutes of the vertiginous “aboa”). The album moves from a track to an other in a constant harmonious way, always bringing to the fore the metaphysics of sounds, the feeling of static eternity and infinite quietness which rise in northern lost lands. The sound painting and the compositional process emphasize the quality of spaciousness which motivates the experimental side of the music. Based on slow moving ambiences, empirical sound textures and neurotic-tonal spectrums, Whiteout is a stunningly introspective musical experience, a radical cinematic adventure. Whiteout can be appreciated as a sort of missing link between ‘Apollo’ by Brian Eno and sound genealogies of Biosphere in ‘Polar Sequences’. A vast ocean of arctic-like sound waves which crystallize and immobilize time in a majestic stillness. Glacial dronescaping seduction.
Whiteout is available on Ionium. [Release page]
