Beautifully murky musical juices flow through molecular streams. A slightly threatening transfusion of electrified currents of sound pass through a vast, whorling tidal pool. These waters are certainly not stagnant; glistening shards and echoing bubbles are only part of the aural scenery. Over the ebb and flow of ominously growling low tones, glassy higher pitches shimmer in hollow tranquility, their long strands resonating through an almost-minimal otherworld. Luscious!
When refracted through Broaddus' liquid prism (5:00), things take on a certain eerie distortion. Hyperstretched moans cast a pale light over the surface of this bell and drone piece.
Even spookier atmospheres await; unknowable emanations erupt amid echoing bells and distant, ghostly wails, at least until the piece makes its transcendence into safer territories. There, burbling Oriental-ish synthtones glisten like oversized dewdrops in the warming rays of a new dawn. It's not every day we get to "hear" a happy ending like this...
leviathan pulls us down to a darker depth, where brassier tones rumble and wail in a densely aquatic atmosphere. Though within this realm, other entities emit their own dazzling forms of light and life, rendering it a most fascinating place to float.
As one might suspect, everything is a bit softer when enshrouded by mist. Quiet synth notes meander patiently through a lovely electronic haze, which leads us to... the total mind and body plunge of submersion (25:27). We're weightlessly and directionlessy oozing through a state of suspension. Originally alone, in a void paradoxically full of faraway sound. Eventually though, we become aware that other, ephemeral, beings exist in this inhuman zone. Headphones and low lights are definitely desirable for your time "under". (If the track weren't so effective, I might recommend a sensory deprivation tank also...)
