OCP – Atmos (2006)




/Ambient dub. Abstract, Glitchtronica, Ambient techno, Glitch ambient/

Comment: by listening to this 5-track issue it can be admitted good music is timeless. Indeed, almost nine years has passed by the establishment of the release by Portuguese musician João Ricardo. His assumptions on dub, glitch electronica and ambient were to produce astonishing results. Mostly it is the slow amber based on glistening dub oscillations and subtle glitched-out shards filled up with emotional dust and easily spread sea mink. Maybe the finishing track Atmos Five used to differentiate from the rest of the issue with regard to a more thumping techno induced beat structure; and also Atmos Two which also exploits more prominent cadences though revealing a more abstract approach to the concept. I can readily imagine it does make difference while listening to it by falling asleep – it chimes like an anthem of the modern Sandman who plays hypnagogic beats instead of sprinkling sand in human being`s eyes. The album is a part of the discography of Serein.
