Flues of Disappearing Sand

by Dylan Henner

supported by

polinos The overall theme - environmental degradation - might be depressing, but the execution is not: The two lenghty compositions are a compelling reichian vibraphone-fest straight out of the 'Music for 18 Musicians' playbook.

option constant Even if based in despair over ecological collapse, this album radiates warmth. A perfect Sunday companion. Favorite track: We Turned off the TV So We Could Hear the Birds.

about

"The music is based on the environmental & ecological despair happening in front of us, particularly in reference to South India. As with most of my work, the piece started with field recordings taken on location (in this case, on the Kerala / Tamil Nadu border in South India). I had been reading about the severe erosion levels in the territory and was sitting on the beach watching these little streams of sand pour out into the sea. I was watching the tide, not erosion, of course, but it was a very powerful miniature of the sad reality. So the piece is about this little moment of aching tenderness between me and nature, sitting powerless on the sand and watching it disappear into the water." (Dylan Henner)

Foam and Sand's tape loops are pretty, dammit, but instead of telling (and selling) you as such, these modular synth- and piano-made recordings shift with the many moods of meditation — they crest, recede, weep and grind. https://www.vikingschoice.org/archive/ambient-pop-finnish-black-metal-brazilian-free/ Lars Gotrich

A sea of gentle poetic compositions ebbing and flowing over soft sands. Uplifting and reaffirming. These sounds salve my CPTSD, driving the clatter of noises from my mind and replacing them with shards of sunlight cast adrift on waters welcoming the setting sun. ES
