V/A :: Transmission 008 (Imaginary North)

These expertly detailed sonic Polaroids encapsulate the spirit of time, past and present, as though to ease the listener into a thick fog with tranquil audio-visual textures, tones, and drones.

Tranquil audio-visual textures, tones, and drones

The Toronto-based Imaginary North’s Transmission 008 sees the imprint dissolve into the light as seventeen musicians go on a somber, meditative, and atmospheric ambient journey. Even though the twelve featured compositions remain between two and three minutes in length, their depth and surreal synth swells, which ebb and flow, seem to coalesce into one massive effort. The magnitude and far-reaching sonic traverse of Transmission 008 highlights both Canadian and global musicians whose aim captures naturally occurring field recordings and drifting melodic fibers. These expertly detailed sonic Polaroids encapsulate the spirit of time, past and present, as though to ease the listener into a thick fog with tranquil audio-visual textures, tones, and drones. As a result, T008 is an engaged ambient passage and a powerful cosmic transmission.

Transmission 008 is available on Imaginary North. [Bandcamp]
