Comment: Bryn Schurman aka
Caustic Reverie has been active for a little bit more than the decade
while creating a pair of albums per year. Aesthetically he has been
following his own (dark) star (as we all do more or less
successfully), and the formula of his music is to create possibly
profound, ghost-filled ambiances with the aid of few sounds and some
reverberation applications to be pushed through it. In most cases,
the listener hears remote sounds imbued with rusty noises, watery
echoes, hollow and faintly feedback-trodden drones and some other
sounds which may as well be imaginative to appear in one's head
because alternately silence-nigh moments and trickling and vibrant
microscopic noises come in and go out or just slip away along more or
less subliminal lines and twisted orbits. It is like a sonic
counterpart to behaviour of primordial Buddhist being ferocious for
raw meat while searching for personal integrity through extreme
exercises and transcendence allowing mantras. Profound stuff indeed.
