The Last Ambient Hero - under the same sky

The Last Ambient Hero has been working diligently over a three month period. Recently Lost in a Sea of Sound described the beautiful cassette Cassini • Trappist​-​1. Now, under the same sky has arrived. The information given indicates this new composition is a project based in tape loops, a dedication to artists with roots in subtle sound manipulation. And for cassette enthusiasts, a real time recording with three extra tracks not on the digital.

The quality of ambient recordings has always been a rather mute point. There could be differences from a live session, field recordings, something done in a studio, albeit analog or digital might be a controversial factor. For most compositions, sounds are directly fed into the collecting sources. The Last Ambient Hero has accounted for this, rendering twenty cassettes dubbed at real time speed. There might not be a grandiose determinable result from fast or slow dubbing, but these attentions should be noted and reflect the underlying love going into creative en devours.

The beauty of under the same sky rests directly with tonal spaces. For anyone listening to ambient music, past or present, each recording elicits a mood. The most difficult place to hold on the spectrum of feelings is the center line. The Last Ambient Hero achieves this, allowing listeners to explore both worlds. From the uplifting sonic ethereal aura, higher vibrations impart, to the darker tinged broodiness, heavy ambient compositions pull from, under the same sky pins ever so slightly to either condition. The flip of the tape seems to be the juncture where the tenor gently swings. Compare the last tracks on either side, "radiant drone" and "horizon fade", to hear the subtle differences. Consciousness have a resting place, a cliff space allowing sounds to arrive from both what lies above and deep in the valley below.

Self released in an edition of twenty, just a few weeks ago. Copies are available from The Last Ambient Hero site.
