Austin, Texas based ambient musician. He has a massive discography representing all the best tape CD-R labels you could imagine. This release is a bit more diverse than his usual stuff—lots of drifting abstract jams with killer effects. This guy is going somewhere.
FCC CLEAN
RIYL: Tidal, Deep Magic, Quiet Evenings, The North Sea
*1. (10:02) A tribute to John Coltrane. Sharp-edged, staticy tides rolling in. Long blustery noise outro.
*2. (4:37) DAMN, the effects! Wah-wah and delay pedals galore, unwinding cords of sound which stumble forward in woozy waves.
*3. (2:01) Minimalist fluctuating chords. A low-key take on the same theme explored in track 2.
4. (11:19) Weightless ambient with a surface so smooth you could ice skate on it. Really picks up and gets interesting in the last 3 minutes.
5. (6:21) Dark baroque drone with a few reverberating piano chords and bird samples.
*6. (6:01) Delicate tiptoeing chord progressions.
7. (9:30) Eerie and suspenseful.
8. (5:20) Vintage film static, and uncertain synth progressions stuttering and flapping like newsprint in the wind.
