Tim Coster – Landing (Half Theory)

On Landing Tim Coster works with ambient drones, with indiscernible fluttering sounds and gentle barely perceptible fluctuating melodies, offering a simultaneous feeling of stasis and progression. Apparently garnered from processed field recordings, processed instrumentation and electronics, it’s an exercise in patience and subtlety, in the delicate integration of material almost under earshot. It’s all quite low key, the warmth of the drones anchoring the pieces as multiple sound sources converge and entwine together to form one rich tapestry of sound. It’s really quite beautiful and subtle work with mannered and soothing tones that still manage to retain an experimental edge.
