Kammarheit
Asleep And Well Hidden
Slow, lazy movements in the dark. That is the kind of vague imagery that this dark ambient music conjures up as I listen to it. There is an ecosystem here that, though sluggish and at times barely distinguished, is unmistakably alive.
This music is not afraid to slowly wrap it lumbering arms around you, squeezing so gently that you will be lulled into a kind of sedated state. If you let it, this album will become your entire environment; a shapeshifting terrace that can transmute a dark, starry night into a lonely industrial warehouse with such ease that you will barely realize it is happening.
Minimal drones ebb and flow effortlessly, making the listener feel as though they may be drifting slowly down a dark, endless river. Short, higher pitched quivering noises give the impression of catching glimpses of tiny and fluttering shadows that dance in the dark, just out the listener's view.
Though there are the occasional bending of metal or distant, ghostly cries (particularly with the song "The Poignant"), this album is overall more focused on embracing you than frightening you. If you like dark ambient, it's quite comfy.
