Hear an ambient soundscape with a sense of wonder and self-discovery in the latest from the cellist and composer MIZU, Forest Scenes. The Juilliard-trained musician layers her cello, pulsating electronics, and hyperreal field recordings into what feels like an unhurried turn filled with moss, leaves, creatures, and branches, taking in everything that might be possible, and simultaneously “building scenes of self-discovery through a kind of ecstasy in the unexplored”, (MIZU’s Bandcamp).
Listen also to British electronic musician and synthpop songwriter (Erasure, Depeche Mode, Yazoo) Vince Clarke’s dark, moody ambient music made on modular synths, where each track has a drone. Then, hear slowly unfolding sonic landscape by British composer, musician, and sound artist Roger Eno. Then hear music of the desert’s vast, ragged landscape from the trio called Cowboy Sadness. Made up of members of The Antlers, Bing & Ruth, & Port St. Willow, listen for David Moore’s heavy, undulating organs, Peter Silberman’s melancholic guitars, and Nicholas Principe’s galloping, hypnotic drums, from their record, Selected Jambient Works Vol. 1.
There’s also ambient electronic music work from L.A.-based saxophonist, producer, and composer David Binney, and the latest from Grammy-nominated composer and pianist Dustin O’Halloran, from his recent release, 1001, and an electronic work that was recorded with analogue synths. That, and more. - Caryn Havlik
