Experimental Electronic Music
“The DiN ambient label was set up by Ian Boddy in 1999 to release ambient electronica that bridged the gap between the analogue sound of the early 70’s synth pioneers and the digital soundscapes of the more experimental modern exponents of electronic music.” Now celebrating their 25th Anniversary with a colossal 20 track compilation (CD/Digital), Ian Boddy discusses the label and its history with Philippe Blache.
With versality, skills, and a delectable sense of transcendental escapism, every musical contribution brings tone textures, patterns, timbral experimentations, harmonic progressions, and processed sound motifs to ravish your ears.
These transmissions are on just the right frequency for slowing down and finding your own signal in the noise. Comprising of two pulsating long-form pieces it is easy to get lost in these tones that undulate between earth and sky.
Almost everything about this LP is really engaging and well executed. It nails its details, there’s so much variety in the longer tracks that it’s difficult to feel bored by their repetitive atmosphere or palette, as all the variations or added textures f5point6 displays make these tracks work incredibly well.
A very creative composer who isn’t afraid to delve into the strands of the past and present, threading surreal, evocative, and emotionally charged aural pathways that we will continue to revisit.
Capturing light sources to create calm atmospheres, the featured compositions are as nostalgic as they are contemporary and offer quiet tidbits for a wonderful diversion.
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.
Subtly-placed whispered melodies somehow enter our subconscious and the tone of the EP intensifies as it gets closer to our soul.
