Album Notes & Community Reviews

Benn Jordan notably reins in the frantic, hyper-edited breakcore beats that characterized his early career in favor of lush, cinematic soundscapes. The album intricately balances pristine electronic programming with sweeping, live string orchestrations, melancholic piano motifs, and organic field recordings. It functions as a deeply peaceful, highly sophisticated bridge between cerebral IDM and emotive modern classical composition.
