12-notch outing constitutes volume 4 of the Soothing Images series.
Mancunian Bryn Coleman who is behind the project employs a virtual
double tape loop system to create airy but pensive soundscapes on a
piano, a synthesiser and a guitar. He has shifted styles a number of
times yet such sort of music is being a main fare for him recently.
At times those sounds evolve into epic semi-orchestrations, of
course, in slowed-down terms of Brin Coleman. The echoing guitar
chords and gentle strumming create an additional, hued space by
reminding of other guitar geniuses like Drew Miller, Stephen Briggs,
and Gaetano Fontanazza. I guess the music could be depicted as if a
travelling on the unstable ground of gigantic gas planets like
Jupiter, and Saturn. One will ultimately feel a desperate pain of
loneliness and having no chance to reach some populated points in the
middle of the vast ground of the planets. In a word, it is a fine
example of the music of the spheres where bittersweet sensations are
embedded in rather than parted. Great work by any means.
