From a distance
This rises up gradually with a single sonic feature that holds it for a time. Eventually other instrumentation joins as this explores minimalistically and in mellow ways. A voice joins after a time in a non-lyrical way. There is a real almost spooky, otherworldly vibe to this. This is trippy and artsy and quite intriguing. |
|
Carlos
There is a little more energy and "song-like" quality here than there was on the previous tune. This grows outward with style and charm. It has more non-lyrical vocals. There is both a jazz and folk prog vibe at play here. |
|
Melting ice (feat. Okkyung Lee)
Noisier, but still on the mellow side, this is tastefully strange and experimental. At a little over a minute-and-a-half, it's also short. |
|
Family
Weird jazz, free-form experimental prog and more merge on this track. There are multiple layers of vocals, and some almost sound lyrical. I really love some of the guitar work on this. It reminds me a little of Robert Fripp. |
|
Night Birds (feat. Sofia Jernberg)
Another that is fairly trippy and sparse, this is also dramatically artistic. This grows out into really freaky territory as it continues. |
|
Counting
This has lyrical vocals, at first, literally counting. This is more "song-like" with a rather jazz rock oriented arrangement. I really dig the jazzy guitar work on this a lot. |
|
Underwater (feat. Sofia Jernberg)
Nearly acapella as it gets going, there is some tuned percussion in the mix along with the odd, artsy, non-lyrical vocals. Piano is added to the mix, but the instrumental portion of this is downplayed and sparse. The track is experimental in sound. |
|
Degrowth (feat. Sofia Jernberg, Okkyung Lee)
A bit more jazz oriented, this is creative and artistic. The vocals have some lyrical content to them. |
|
Bergman's Island
I really love the intricate acoustic guitar on this track. The vocals bring it toward some early mellow King Crimson territory. |
|
Lost whale (feat. Okkyung Lee)
More sparse and freeform as it gets underway, this grows out from there. It's very experimental with the vocals landing closer to humming. |
|
Watching you grow
There is a weird, cartoony voice at the beginning of this. Some piano comes in as the track continues. Eventually some jazzy modes take over as the track continues.
|
|
Bagatelle, Op.6 Lento
Classical music, jazz and more merge on this arrangement. There is a spacey, experimental nature to it, and it's quite an intriguing piece of music. |
