After nearly four decades and 40 albums of ambient electronics,
veteran Norwegian composer Erik Wollo takes a different approach there
are no synthesizers! Infinite Moments is performed entirely on electric
guitars processed with the diffused sustain of the EBow and layered note
structures of harmonizers. No rhythms, only long, vast and engaging
soundscapes. Minimal, extended and infinite in its essence, the album is a
meditative inward journey of stillness and reflection an emotional
mapping of the mind, beautifully weightless and contemplative. These six
long, luminous and timeless moments are built upon multiple independent
guitar loops of various length, overlapping and merging into slow drifting
sections of continuously evolving combinations. Each loop was recorded
live in the studio using a different type of guitar creating rich
ensembles of unity. Its a detailed musical language of floating guitars:
hearing the strings resonate and vibrate between the fingers and the Ebow
creates brilliant and sparkling tones that shine and stand out as unique
and organic. I envisioned a concept using just a few essential
instrumentations, Erik reflects, with a minimalist approach where the
melody and accompaniment are one. Each track has its own identity, yet all
have a similar calm, longing and endless feeling. The color palette is
essentially more reduced than my other work, and the tracks retain a
similar suspended level throughout. Here are no crescendos or high points.
This is not so much about a narrative telling a story, but rather more
like a satellite floating free and weightless in space. Erik continues,
When I listen to these tracks with these ever-changing structures I
experience a static state of mind that continues unchanged. It could go on
and last forever never ending where time seems to stand still. It is very
focused where nothing else seems to matter. Infinite Moments is a new
adventure in sonic dimension from Erik Wøllo. Its a contemplative
solitude, a dreamy portal of shimmering and everlasting
emotions. |
