Wollo, Erik
Silent Currents
Format: 2CD iin 6-panel digiPak! Showcasing a different side of Erik Wollo's sound, Silent Currents explores fascinating electronic / ambient landscapes with slow-motion structures, surreal soundscapes and floating currents. Drawn from two separate live radio broadcasts, 104 mins of music traverse a more ambient, atmospheric & textural side than experienced on his other albums. Recorded in the studio of the famous Star's End radio show in Philadelphia, these performances from 2002 and 2007 are each a disc-long continuous piece with several chapters. With more focus on the deep drones than on melody and rhythm, zones drift and morph, organically flowing into each other. Layers of electronics and processed sound combine with light touches of electric guitar melody floating on top. Quiet, sparse and gentle electronic music with ambient passages mix with occasions of sequencer pulses. Silent Currents is the 15th release from the Norwegian guitarist, synthesist and composer following his successful 2010 Projekt release Gateway
