“…explores texture and grain using analogue synths, brass and human voices. A lot of music rooted in drone-based minimalism…” says The Guardian. Debut work from Jerusalem born solo soundscape sculptor. Beautiful compositions that she performs live, solo. All songs serene, glacial. Fans of Wendy Carlos and Eno alike will bliss out.
 
1) (7:14) slow drones begin with brass becomes textured vaguely melodic  2) (5:26) early moog tones give this a decidedly “electronic” feel, again a glacial evolution of balm 3) (4:04) strong synth layers. 4) (2:57) vocal layers create pure dream state, music for airports reminder 5)(2:51) lovely layers slow evolving tones 6) (7:20) synth brass sequences with brassy low tones. 7) (6:05) slow repeats of brassy tones are pure hypnotism Bill C 7/22
