Avant Music News Review
Avant Music News has graciously reviewed LF17 / Edinburgh, and per usual it’s an insightful analysis of the release:
“Calton Hill is five minutes of ethereal chording with a slow voice-like melody. The tones are light but with a hint of anxiety. Princes Street Gardens is based on looped rhythmic structures reminiscent of old-school works from Dockstader and others. Over these, Kelly places a dialog between echoing effects and horn-like themes. Calton Road Cobblestones finishes things up with sparse string-plucking and drones. The latter grow ominous as the piece ends.”
Catch it, and more of the most knowledgeable analysis in experimental music, on the Avant Music News website.
