[Minimalist/Ambient] Steve Hauschildt – “Vicinity”

September 4, 2015 Ryan Burns

Towers, constructed of brick and granite, float by like a cardiac pulse against my window. the morning sun paints my face in warm orange bursts as if by flash, as its waves navigate through the passing office buildings and cafes. Green Street Coffee, bank, New York style falafel, University Hospital, bank, bank, bank. Longing faces […]

[AMBIENT/EXPERIMENTAL] Benoît Pioulard – ‘Sonnet’ Album Review

March 3, 2015 Ryan Burns

Sometimes the cliche “got what it takes” doesn’t even approach your doubts: what if you have no idea what it takes in the first place?

December 31, 2014 Ryan Burns

Would I even be able to identify 20 “best” minimalist, experimental, and ambient tracks of 2014? What would “best” even entail? How could I […]

[AMBIENT/EXPERIMENTAL] Anjou – “Anjou” Album Review

November 11, 2014 Ryan Burns

Satellites erode, collide, and emit, adding ever more debris to the morass already orbiting the earth. Read about it: it’s a thick film surrounding us, and may have already reached critical mass to accumulate indefinitely. Bits of metallic, electric nuggets speed around the planet, a harsh inorganic environment set against the backdrop of sub-zero silence. […]
