Garth Paine - Escape Velocity

Review by Alden Verdan

Escape Velocity is an album by Australian composer and sound artist, Garth Paine. The album features a collection of electroacoustic works that take listeners on an immersive journey through a world of sound.

The album begins with the title track, "Escape Velocity," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. It's a haunting and otherworldly piece that slowly builds in intensity, creating a feeling of tension and unease. The next track, "Horizon," is a more meditative piece that features a gentle and soothing drone that gradually evolves over time.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Turbulence," which is a dynamic and unpredictable piece that is full of energy and movement. It's a thrilling and immersive listening experience that really showcases Paine's skill as a composer and sound designer.

Escape Velocity is a fascinating and engaging album that explores the possibilities of electroacoustic music. It's a must-listen for anyone who is interested in experimental music or sound art. Paine's compositions are complex, nuanced, and full of surprises, making this album a truly unique and rewarding listening experience.
