Chilling echoes and sampled noises punctuate the sound architecture and come to boost the cinematic feel. The sound sculptures alternate deep toned minimalism with fuzzed-out vibes for an obsessive and infernal mystico-poetical procession.
Subterranean dark ambient music with cinematic inclinations
Randal Collier-Ford is a US-based sound artist and dark dronescaping musician whose work can be placed among the finest efforts coming from Cryo Chamber productions. Advent is the fourth album to be published by this leading publisher in the latest development of subterranean dark ambient music with cinematic inclinations.
Three years separate Advent from its predecessor. Collier-Ford’s compositions shine in a darkened and dense reverbered body of sounds, slow moving atmospheres and gravitational waves. This album introduces new aesthetical codes and compositional schemas, notably built around the use of processed cello sequences, altered piano lines, and e-guitar longitudinal moves. Hazy vibrant chords will lead you in a levitating form of stillness, surrounded by a dark magic spell. Chilling echoes and sampled noises punctuate the sound architecture and come to boost the cinematic feel. The sound sculptures alternate deep toned minimalism with fuzzed-out vibes for an obsessive and infernal mystico-poetical procession. Recommended home listening while reading neo-mythological and old school dark fictions from Arthur Machen, Clark Ashton Smith and others. Advent can easily compete for Cryo Chamber’s best 2020 release.
Advent is available on Cryo Chamber. [Bandcamp]
