Miming Melancholy
I could attempt an empathetic descriptive narrative to
review this album, a mimeses of language to convey its ambient layers of
repeated sounds. But I am too chilled – listening – to attempt the echoing.
This isn’t what I usually listen to, but tempted by a
reference, somewhere, to its melancholia, I found to give it a try, liking of
late music that is instrumental and designed to sooth and salve, though that
does make it sound more necessary than the primary experience of its relaxing
and therefore untaxing offering of soundscapes.
These are electronic orchestrations by Thomas Bücker and
others, the third in a sequence though I am not saying they are intentionally
linked, but this one is certainly intentionally calming. The only time when
that meditative effect is affected is when there are sudden stops [purposeful
musical hiatuses] as in second Staub Und
Stern, or elongated electrical pulses as in fourth Bedingungslos which can also convey a darker mood. Otherwise, this is the mimetic music of waves
rolling onto a shore.
