Stratosphere
Aftermath
Aftermath, the second Projekt release from Belgium's Stratosphere (aka Ronald Marien), is built upon layering shimmers of guitar and bass-generated tones and drones. The album's core seems inspired by post-rock, drone ambient and the work of Fripp & Eno, yet speaks in it's own expressive voice. The stormclouds of guitar-generated soundsculpting utilizes textures sometimes shadowy, sometimes melodic and engaging, all swirling in slow dynamics of change which obscure and reveal the passionate resonance of the creator himself.
