The musical sequences and flowing tone colors invite the listener to a quiet state of personal introspection, exploring the passage of time, spiritual communion with oneself and with the outside world.
A meticulous blend of looming dark sonic textures
Phoenix York is a sound artist and electronic music composer based in Montreal, Canada. His distinctive soundscaping signature offers a meticulous blend of looming dark sonic textures with sentient micro-melodies rising up at the surface. This new album admits a relatively similar musical direction to the previous effort (Quite Mutations) with maybe more pronounced new agey vibes in it.
The global musical aesthetics and articulation of synth patterns/processed acoustic strings punctuated by discreet pulsating motives will mentally transport the listener on a path of contemplative luminescence, densely layered and mysteriously nebulous. The musical sequences and flowing tone colors invite the listener to a quiet state of personal introspection, exploring the passage of time, spiritual communion with oneself and with the outside world. This gentle, vaguely dark and solemn meditative excursion through dissonant free moving tones and softly enveloping synth shimmers can be a good recommended listening experience for those into the shifting droning music and aerial ambient minimalism of David Sylvian & Czukay in collaborative efforts or Marconi Union, Harold Budd, Vidna Obmana or even Biosphere at its most peaceful-spacey moments.
Farther Things is available on Buried Standing. [Bandcamp]
