Bedroom - Moons

The dazzling world of ambient attributes. An aural landscape extending in infinite directions, sonic ridges or indentations drawn like lines across the vastness. Solid features, their beauty clouded until perspectives reach above. Bedrooms has pushed forward into the consciousness. When the tape ends, a sonic moraine has formed. Notes like earthly debris left resonating in after thoughts. These tracks are fully organic, hearkening to eras gone before. Billions of years of movement, current deliberations will only shallowly understand. 

This cassette titled Moons is special. Michael Chau as Bedroom capturing sounds from distant reaches. His use of the tangible, piano, vibraphone, chimes, even beats at times, landing Moons directly in the forefront of the mind. Combining this approach with synthesizer and patience, produces an ambient soundscape exuding corporeal distinction. The ethereal undertones have been grounded, pulling Moons through the accumulation of sediment many mid seventies, early eighties new age music lie. There is a connection, before computers and software the physical process of analog creations covered the surface. Michael Chau has gone back, unearthing forgotten tone and timbre, polishing a composition of beauty. Throughout the entire forty five minute album, Moons stays on the path. Only a few moments of disruption or vexation lay heavier, most likely from traversing steep aural precipices. Enough diversity to keep attention heightened, with the larger magnitude of sound time exploring rarities of creation. This tranquility is for real.

Very recently released on fluere tapes out of Stockholm, Sweden. This is number twelve for a label that started almost five years ago. Of all the previous releases, Moons is the only cassette available. Michael Chau as Bedrooms has had previous releases on the dearly missed Tranquility Tapes label. This has been over four years now.  Be sure to order a copy from the label, a source of radiant ambiance that will most definitely be gone in physical form.
