it is as if there were nothing

The gaye device
Beautiful melancholy ambient soundwaves that conjure up huge open vistas and emotions of forgotten and lost loves.

This set works well as synthesizers, it's usually the other way around with synths acting as traditional instruments. Thank you Mark!
Favorite track: an exquisite portrait.

about
Working with a palette of strings, clarinet an bass trombones but treating them like synthesizers, Williamson creates four expansive and beautiful drone pieces.

Music with a sense of territory, figuratively and — it seems from the description — literally. Layers of tones float and stream, as often in harmony as in calm, below-the-surface tension. The effect is pensive and a warm reassurance. A ticket for closed-eyes travel even for those remaining still.

Amazing!!! I missed out on the vinyl. Hopefully there’s a 3rd pressing of this release in the future. So far, my favorite album of 2021
go to album -
In the music of Paul Jordan, digitally manipulated field recordings become striking electronic songs that feel eerie and surreal.

The album title stands for “Congratulations You Ruined Everything,” and its songs are tense and unnerving electronic journeys.

I absolutely love this album. From seeing Spaceship Mark with Luke Turner, Hannah Peel and Will Burns at Cecil Sharp House, to listening to Structures this week has been an amazing journey. Structures is a very satisfying, and very human end to the Calderdale Trilogy.
