Shelter Press France レコード& CD

Review: According to the release information for Halos of Perception, this frankly stunning collection of recordings largely centred on piano, cello and tape is best heard once you understand the experiences that informed its making. Stepping out from the pristine Australia of perfect tanned bodies, juice bars, and high dollar incomes, and into a wilderness that remains untouched but perilously close to what passes for civilisation in the 21st Century, this album is about exploring worlds that exist beyond our usual perceptions. But what exactly does that sound like? Well, for one thing it's staggeringly beautiful and powerful enough to stop-you-dead. Melodies and motifs focus the attention on white noise walls fading into the background like a passing breeze. Next, field recordings layer to build new moods, an organic listening experience that invokes imagined memories of watching evolution in action. Its ambient, experimental, classical, and just plain unique.
