the chroma plateau by numina

A bit surprised Numina didn’t come up on the MB search engine.

He’s been running on heavy rotation for me for so long I kind of assumed he had a stronger presence. He deserves it.

Maybe it’s for the best.

Lawrence English just published a lovely little writeup in FACT Mag up examining Ambient Music at 40 for the 40th anniversary of Airports. It's a really nice feature on the musical philosophy of the genre and where it's headed.

Quote:

To this end, and given we have arrived at this middle age of sorts for Ambient music, I wanted to propose some (not so) gentle provocations to stir future conversations as this music persists into the future.

12 notes towards a future ambient:

Those are interesting. We should discuss them one by one.

Well I just melted into this one. Definitely made out of the type of sounds I like to hear.

Seriously looking forward to Alva Noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto's latest collaborative effort, Glass due out Feb 16th. I've loved all their previous projects.

Definitely worth reading about and listening to.

Excellent write up from Consequence of Sound.

Possibilities Vol. 1 by Tobias Reber + Erik Emil Eskildsen

released February 7, 2018

Erik Emil Eskildsen - guitar, electronics
Tobias Reber - synths, electronics

I was thinking I’d write up a description of the interplay between the two musicians which sounded pretty interesting. Then the right thing happened: I fell asleep. I woke up and it was going still and I thought pretty standard drone stuff but I really like it. Then I woke up again and it was over. Obviously, great for a lazy day.

?/? Stars

sorry guys

Still recommended

Unity by Bruno Sanfilippo

Argentine composer, Bruno Sanfilippo, has been one of my favorite neo-classical ambient composers for some time. This very recent release is an excellent traditionally expressive addition to his discography. A likely candidate for 2018 AOTY lists.
