Comment:
this issue consists of a pair of long, 27-minute, compositions, the
first of them is the original and the second is a mix version of
it.
The original one is an ennobling blend of synthesized
effects and a theme progression which a
little reminds
of Angelo Badalamenti's lead theme of Twin Peaks. But then now, all
of
that slowly
and unremarkably fades away and will be traded for a solemn cathedral
organ being backed up by raindrops which keep falling on your face.
And then hushed industrial shrieks, amplified hisses, minimal
vibrations, natural sounds (rain, sea waves) and a reverberant
rhythmic pace are mixed up with each other to result in a sultry
ambient composition which may resemble a
sonic and imaginative jungle
similar to one depicted by Estonian musician and globetrotter Tont.
This
sort of music I would like to tag “New-New Age” or “Meta-Dub”.
Or it is a sort of ambient music which leaves behind abstract
patterns to come over into the heart of a listener.
It is really pleasant to hear such a thick, analogue-alike processing
of sounds. The mix called Surface
Mix
is a bit dissimilar due to reconfiguration in sonic elements and some
differently accentuated layers. However, similarly to the main track
it
is
at least as powerful and suggestive and
thereof convincing to my ears.
In a word, it is a great issue for relaxing and stimulating one's
brain. All
the donations the Palma, Spain-based
artist gets go to the support of Coral
Reef Alliance. The
issue is a part of the discography of Somniscope.
