Album Notes & Community Reviews

Privately pressed and largely ignored upon its initial release, 'Wind' is a profoundly melancholic, deeply atmospheric ambient masterpiece. Gigi Masin utilizes incredibly soft, looping piano phrases, subtle synthesizers, and manipulated tape hiss to create a freezing, distinctly aquatic auditory environment. It is a beautifully solitary, mysterious, and meditative milestone of European ambient music.
