Genre: Ambient Drone
Rating: 4/5
released on bandcamp April 1, 2022
Motionfield are a band that have been at it a while and have laid out some strong wood so before I start dropping influences I need to give the devil his due. This is a solid outfit on its own. Nods to that. Parts of this are very Klaus Schulze inspired. And as far as I’m concerned, that’s fucking awesome. If I’m reminded of Timewind, you’re doing something amazing. But then parts of it are Pink Floydy. And I mean those best instrumental moments that crack your skull or melt your soul or however I should say it. But the third, and artistically most relevant component is a recent sound in ambient drone music that definitely exists but nobody can really stamp as their own. I think it’s a product of the digital streaming high availability age that around twenty artists can symbiotically pioneer a sound simultaneously. That’s what’s at play here. I could name drop contemporaries but they’re not influences they’re just peers floating around in the same musical universe.
