Somfay[arch036] Serendip

Whilst in the middle of writing a new album for Archipel, Somfay has taken a short break to write a lengthly slab of swirling, brightly lit, aural forestry by the name of "Serendip".

An undulating cinematic view, pulsing with hypnagogic imagery, Fricative White steeps one's mind slowly in a light composed of softly glowing, fuzzy coils of warmth brought on by a morning sunrise suspended in honey in the same way that tiny pockets of ancient air are suspended forever within the asymmetrical geometry of gemstones. Gossamer layers of cascading melodic noise gently snowball as the piece progresses, ebbing and flowing through each other, into stratospheric peaks and rolling valleys which whorl within themselves to create helical mindscapes of otherworldly colour and form, leaving a trail glistening soft, blurred, faded and overexposed footsteps engraved on the inside.

I enjoyed this immensely-- I can only imagine what a headphone listen would be like, as it already has an envelopment quality to it.
Floating, swirling, surreality- avoid the operation of heavy machinery while under the influence of this music!
The entire 27 minutes is interesting. Never getting repetitive like electronic music sometimes can be. Quality through-out!

If you crave more of this sort of sound, might I suggest UNIT 21 sep/oct on Thinner.

Almost 30 minutes of pure sonic bliss. Deep, driving, pulsating bass layered with soaring, hazy washes of sound that ebb and flow. Beautiful. Play it loud.
