| Info: | Andrew Ostler continues his artistic
evolution towards choral beauty, orchestral textures, ambient drones
and low woodwind, into the realms of Jóhann
Jóhannsson, Arvo Pärt or Stars of the Lid...
Building on the string arrangements of his previous album "Dots on a
Disk of Snow", this record also adds a full choir, taking the music to
another level of spiritual intensity. - On the first 3 compositions the
drones are, for the most part, relatively gentle, while chant-like
choral arrangements drift and weave around and above them.
'Affirmation' is quietly confident, with a surge of intensity around
the midpoint; 'Confession' is perhaps more tentative, the shifting
canon of the voices threatened by a distant storm of distorted synth
shredding; 'Adoration' restores the straightforward choral beauty,
building to an unashamed cadence. - The immense final track
'Meditation' is a quite different affair. Here the drones are more
intense slabs, the choir is more demonstrative in its emotion, and the
ultimate climax the more devastating for it. The journey is longer, but
the rewards are greater for the committed. |
