seth nehil: umbra cd

Umbra continues Nehil's expansive and organic sound patterns. Employing sounds of recorders, reeds, voice, and electronics, joyously rising and falling exhalations crest into ambivalent passages of machine drone and unexpected klaxons. All the while, one cannot ignore the presence of small happenings and events in the background, placed with immense care as if valuables in a shimmering glass case. The result is a meditative experience, at times recalling 'Stimmung' by Stockhausen or any number of works by Phill Niblock.
