Of course we came across the name Matt Borghi in the recent weekly's and Ben Fleury-Steiner shouldn't be unknown either, as he is our man behind the excellent Gears Of Sand label.
Not much info can be found on the cover here as to how this collaborative work was conceived.
Maybe the opening piece 'Broken Connection' says it? Through the internet and exchange of sound files? It's a bit of rough edged ambient piece that one, but it's quite nice because of that.
It's the start of journey to five deep ambient landscapes, with the use of analogue and digital synths an samples that add that rough edge to the pieces.
It's ambient that has it's ties, if only very loosely, to industrial music, as it's not always easy sit back and enjoy here. It's a bit stranger than that, but of course not too alarmingly different.
It's a very nice, a bit more experimental ambient than some others, and standing in a longer tradition of ambient industrial of darker ambient.
Vital Weekly
Two well established craftsmen of ambient atmospherics join forces to create a gorgeous paean to the fleeting night sky. Slobor media co-owner and accomplished soundsmith Matt Borghi teams up in a long awaited collaborative with Gears of Sand founder, Ben Fleury-Steiner. Both artists have nearly 20 releases between them, but this one posseses a special sublime energy. Indeed, the results speak for themselves: Gorgeous, enveloping drones that reveal a complex array of moods. This is journey music, a mysterious voyage into a harbor of haunting darkness and waking light. A fitting way to celebrate Gears of Sand's 30th release.
