Chill avante/experimental pop electro. Hard to pidgeonhole this, just take a listen. Mostly sparse and subdued in its arrangement, but dense and complex in the instrumentation. Overall electronic feel, but certainly not “r.p.m.” or even noise/experimental. Use of loops, samples, treatments. Very pretty.
FCC clean.
1) melodic electronics that sound like they have been manipulated at high speed, pretty somehow
2) minimal treated sounds, melodic, chill
3) brief, treated sneeze
4) musical with treated strings and fem vocs
5) dulcimer feel, treated heavily, minimal until midway when loops of voices etc come in, pretty and melodic stuff
6) free jazz tenor sax feel, improv, strange voices, screams etc
7) plucking, brief
8) kalimba’like plucking, sped up tribal sounding vocals, interesting, bizarre, ends very quiet ~30 seconds remain, pretty much dead air
9) dulcimer like sound with strange sounds juxtaposed, pretty bells, nice rhythm
10) electronics but with a flute, chamber or celtic folk tone somehow
11) very brief, long loops of previous
12) shimmering, minimal electronics
13) chill, girl voice, subtle electronics but mostly banjo picking
14) melodic, toy piano quality
15) slightly denser, almost noisier with treatments, still sparse feeling
16) longer, melodic passages, electro avante feel
17) brief, loops, some voice samples, cool
