A cinematic and entrancing panoramic
A 36-minute chapter of gentle audible layers that ebb and flow while gradually revealing an evocative aura is featured on Michael Trommer’s Spectral Sound System. Delivering a variety of soundscapes blended in unison, the extended piece exudes ambient, drone, experimental, field recording, and minimal characteristics. You could even tie in musique concrète considering the cover art. The sound and visual artist from Toronto, Ontario, captivates the senses and as the press release appropriately describes the release as “a drifting, textured, and organically shifting document of enfolded substantive and imagined sonic milieus,” we could not agree more. The affecting aspects is the sensation of weightlessness or dreamlike experiences. However, halfway through, Trommer lightens the mood in this cinematic and entrancing panoramic, as if to pull in darker forces and faraway voices beckoning to us. This ambient treasure trove is expertly crafted, providing a background of calming textures for you to unwind to.
Spectral Sound System is available on Panospria / No Type. [Site]
