[Release page] Actual sounds and voices intermixed with lively instrumentation, minimal electronics, sun-soaked shoegaze, abstract ambience and surreal audio panorama’s are etched throughout Epitome, a freely downloadable compilation from the kind folks at Dynamophone. As the imprint continues their exploration into fields of chilled musical landscapes, their roster of talent delves straight into a plethora of smoothed genres—often blurring the outer edges and forging a tangential pathway through bliss. Clips, buzzes, vocals, snaps, tangled bass-lines are drenched percussion slides across the background and allows the label to showcase the epitome of their mission statement described as euphonic experimental music.
Layers of sounds are displaced and replaced—constantly shifting as each musician contains a breadth of style and innovative skills. The highlights—including contributions from Moshimoss, Ryan Hicks, Geskia!, Josh Varnedore, Christian Albrechtsen and The Soul’s Release—ignite a passion of pure musicianship. Cascading organic ambiences and electrical distortions via definitive collages of sound, their sonic bubbles inspire emotion and a sense of clarity while they enrich the soul. As Dynamophone continues to radiate via their roster of multifaceted artistry, Epitome provides an abundant cross-section of smothered notes deserving or repeated listens to absorb fully. Creating a bypass from the norm, these fourteen slices of low-pressure particles combine to create Dynamophone’s varied sound field.
Epitome is available on Dynamophone. [Release page]
