Among the smoothest and elegant albums you can find in the modern day ambient galaxy.
In communication with graceful, theosophist and unearthly mediums
Wordclock can easily be considered as one of the most blissed-out, ecstatic, diversified and compelling projects signed by the key international dark ambient / cinematic electronic label Cryo Chamber. Since 2014 Pedro Pimentel has demonstrated great skills and flexible abilities in the range of classical ambient music. Next to synthesized and freely-moving spacious electronic textures, this album dedicates a large space to timbral complexity obtained by a dynamic and expressive use of processed acoustic instruments, percussive sections, sinuous and warm brassy tones. This stylistic exercise on sound motifs and harmonious processed acoustic textures gives to the ensemble an appealing, tranquil, tempered and almost new-age sense of exoticism. This one is among the smoothest and elegant albums you can find in the modern day ambient galaxy—in communication with graceful, theosophist and unearthly mediums. The soulful and emotive sound excursions are occasionally sustained by Mantra-like electro-kinetic tangible percussions which add some freshness. An easy listening, crystalline ambient album—delicate and absorbing at the same time. Fans of classy ambient then minimal pensiveness imbued by Eastern spirituality (from Klaus Wiese, Alio Die, Matthias Grassow, Laraaji) won’t be disconcerted.
A Greater Bliss is available on Cryo Chamber. [Bandcamp]
