Sundialing Transmissions
Reviewed by BravoMarco
Andrew Tomasello’s latest release. As always, a bounty of experimental delights out of Portland. More instruments on offer here, providing a wide range of experimental sounds, from the delicate all the way to the gritty.
Like: Laura Cetilia, Sarah Davachi, Andrew Weathers, Vapour Theories, Clair Obscur All good. Loving: 2 & 4
No FCC’s (Instrumentals)
1) Two Drums And A Flute (5.42) Exactly as the title says – Slow & pensive, filled with uplifting moments.
2) If You Look Far Enough In (6.36) Field recordings & steel string guitar are at the core of this brooding master class. Last minute of bird song & effects would be a class track on it’s own.
3) Brainwave Microprocessor (5.55) Feedback frenzy… A psychedelic flavour to keep us tuned in. Loud, yet controlled.
4) Transmission Raga (10.22) A real journey of mood & reflection. Bow’d instrumentation working in harmony with the manipulated meditation audio. An intense experience.
5) Sunshine Bells (9.15) The glockenspiel gets the treatment here. Sampled & put through the drone ringer. Splendid ominous finale (last 15 seconds is silent)
