Understanding 9/11Scott Taylor - winter sunday ep [cnv 04]
Audio With External Links Item Preview
Based on field recordings made in Barcelona (around the old cathedral), Paris (Notre Damme cathedral organ) and London, this work should be considered secular music in its basis and intent.
These elements were elaborated and trasformed in organics compositions where each track developes a sound environment. Ambient, isolationism... quite space; on this recording Scott attemps to create a calm interval on a sonic environment as saturated as the environment that surrounds us every day.

Notes
Vital Weekly 421 review
Music by Scott Taylor was reviewed before, in Vital Weekly 387 and 412. This new work, downloadable from the new Conv net label, continues where 'Leaving Eden' left us. Taking field recordings from Barcelona, Paris and London, he crafts five relatively short pieces together, which are all very coherent ambient music. Tracks cross fade in each other and have a majestic feel. The centre piece is 'Vespers', which has processed choir voices. For the first time I could resist thinking that Scott Taylor's music comes closely to that of Hazard. Glacier like soundscapes, derived from field recordings - music from big cities made quiet. Like the two previous releases this is a very short release, way too short I haste to say. For the first time I was thinking: I'm done with the introduction, now present us a full length release. It's about time. (Frans de Waard)

of church chorals. "2 degrees, 6 am" is a dense
field recording of a windy and rainy weather
environment, with perfectly arranged background layers. My personal highlight is the last track though, "A Dawn Frost On Cathedral Spire", with slowly evolving sentimental synth drones - just a perfect moody track. Great work!
