Description
================
Subdued, cinematic downtempo electronica. Chanting Stones presents here a
wonderfully consistent album of moody instrumentals - smooth synthscapes with
lulling melodies, unhurried beats and magical atmospheres. Striking piano
stabs, chords and leads add a dramatic air, whilst subtle world elements
introduce mystery and a touch of the exotic - all of this bound up in a dark
aesthetic that steeps the album in elegant dignity. Unlike many contemporary
digital musicians Chanting Stones relies little upon cycling arpeggios and
frequent repetition - instead these tracks reveal unfolding melodies and
expressive themes.
Sober, ceremonial at times - Chanting Stones has a forlorn beauty that tugs at
the heart. Other moments are gentle, pools of serenity, leading the listener
skyward into the light. Rhythmic aspects lift the brooding harmonies into
graceful movement - muted hits and reverberating loops maintaining the
spellbinding allure of timelessness yet, at the same time, lodging the sound
firmly in the current moment.
