Ümlaut :: INSIGHT (Audiobulb)

The ten microsound textures are alternately formed around a simple looping chord, or, as often, what sounds like a distant field recording of a melody or loop, found sounds, rough industrial rhythms diffused into background scapes, and more.

One very long journey through the artist’s imagined worlds

More than a purely ambient album, this is another unusual gem that stretches that definition to include nearly every possible sub-genre of that umbrella, and would be more accurately described as an immersive, environmental album. On 2019’s Musique De Film, the Queens, New York-based musician created “randomized and weightless sounds that dither away with each listen,” with INSIGHT being his latest venture.

The press-release accurately describes INSIGHT as “…unfolding through arpeggiated sequences, melody and ambience, and breathes meditatively through eclectic sound design“—and we couldn’t agree more. The ten microsound textures are alternately formed around a simple looping chord, or, as often, what sounds like a distant field recording of a melody or loop, found sounds, rough industrial rhythms diffused into background scapes, and more. Each piece drifts through a series of these styles until the entire album starts to blend into one very long journey through the artist’s imagined worlds. The overall mood is almost like a naive wonder at the very sounds brought forth here—an upbeat, uplifting journey into a very lovely audio landscape.

INSIGHT is available on Audiobulb.
