This time around, for his sophomore release on Adventurous Music, four audible (re)constructions—under his own name—flutter about with ambient, atmospheric, drone, and what sounds like time-stretched instrumentation
Tag: Drone
Onepointwo :: Voyages Extraordinaires (Human Geography)
These are works of musique concrète recalling the radiophonic atmospheres in vogue in the fifties and sixties and now seeing a sound resurgence as the medium of tape is revitalized and resurrected for composing.
Sam Joseph Delves :: Content EP (Equals Music)
Featuring delicate old tape machine samples alongside a 20-strong ensemble of world-class musicians, recorded in four countries, clearly the compositions use the full spectrum of natural and synthetic symphonics, combining perfectly into these classically informed arrangements.
Five Questions with Rafael Anton Irisarri (Black Knoll Studio / Black Knoll Editions)
Igloo Magazine presents Five Questions for New York-based Black Knoll Editions label operator, musician, and Black Knoll Studio analog/digital mastering Engineer Rafael Anton Irisarri to plunge into his experimental ambient sonic forms, and learn more about the label, mastering studio, and artistic trajectories.
Hang Ruan and Nick Turner :: Flowers Bloom on a Withered Tree (Polar Seas)
Clearly enjoyable for a quiet home listening session on a rainy day, and ultimately a contemplative delight for your daydreaming moments.
Federico Durand :: Té De Flores Silvestres (IIKKI)
Appealing and introverted feelings pass over the full album, trembling at the sounding surface with a hazy solemnity. Colorful and warm, the soundscapes are spiritually nurturing; enriched by subtle melodic lines and cultivate a sensation of freedom and lightness.
f5point6 :: A World Within Our World (See Blue Audio) — Video premiere
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.
Orphax & Kenneth Kirschner :: Movement (Moving Furniture)
Consequently, we are immersed in slow-moving textured ambiances punctuated by aleatoric piano motifs and diverse sources of manipulation. In itself, the music tends to be conceptual and cerebral but beautifully enveloped by absorbing sentient waves.
Tam Lin :: bluelightnospaceflattime (Flaming Pines)
Some sort of obscure, magical ritual this is; surely an engaging one, as this Tam Lin LP tries to immediately hypnotize you as it begins. It does succeed, indeed, as you’ll likely be asking yourself what is happening throughout the entire album.
Cosmos In Collision :: The Passage Of Time (Sun Sea Sky)
Sometimes the constant listener might be passing right through the lines between ambient-electronica and post-rock, with layers of shimmering synths and gone distant etherial guitars.
