The complete pieces are reconstructed settings from a human perspective. In them, you can hear subtle changes, and arguably some development. The album is mainly atmospheric, communicating a wide and subtle range of gloomy impressions and moods.

Build Buildings :: Ecotone (laaps)
Ecotone is a beautiful, serene, delicate, and compelling soundtrack which operates a great dialogue between contemporary classical and microtonal music with an electronic edge.
Federico Balducci & fourthousandblackbirds :: Succulent Succubus (Difficult Art And Music)
The project focuses on sound textures, an exploration rather than a pure melody, at others, the feeling comes across like the low-end rumble of a beat-less Berlin nightclub seeping up through the floorboards.
David Curington :: Composer REACTS / After These Messages (Difficult Art And Music)
We find it all confusing and compelling at the same time. A serious snapshot through our day-to-day lives and the mundane commercial messaging that unfortunately is part-and-parcel of corporate powerhouse greed taking over our devices.
KMRU :: Natur (Touch)
The listener is transported in a rolling ambient vastness connected to natural elements and morphed field recordings, for a breathing, lively and emotional embrace which progressively reaches a mesmerizing climax.
Kate Carr :: Midsummer, London (Persistence of Sound)
The way the drones and nature sounds blend together produce a noticeable, primordial outcome that is practically terrifying as Midsummer, London explores morbid emotions like […]
Taylor Deupree :: Sti.ll (Nettwerk / 12k / Greyfade)
Sti.ll is overall smoother and more pleasant, which is really fitting for the intimate and subtle sentiment of the original LP, making it a re-listen that fans of the original should not miss out on.
NRV :: Seasons Beyond the Ashes (See Blue Audio)
Introspective moods are cultivated here with pastoral synth washes and mesmeric floating chords. Yet the wisps of sadness in these short pieces do not linger for too long, as winter has given way to spring rains and new shoots of life emerge out of the soil. Even if that soil has been damaged.
Philippe Neau :: Domus (Lotophagus)
These eight compositions feature atmospheric notes, delicate tones, and drones, but the real attraction of Domus is the organic beauty of its flora and fauna.
RamonPang :: Life Cycle Waves (The Tabula Rasa Record Company)
Even if the album as a whole isn’t trying to make all of these different styles work together, RamonPang seems to be able to achieve something interesting with all of them, as despite some harsh contrasts in the tracklist, all the tracks eventually manage to pull me in and make me accustomed to their new sound.
emho :: Deambulations (Sonic Dialogue)
Suggesting an exploration of the interplay between geographic spaces and sound, the feeling is of wandering, both in physical and metaphysical senses. The atmosphere fully uses the glitchy modality, like the sound of an old movie, heard underwater, at night.
