Indeed, the collaborative album by Oren Ambarchi and Jim O'Rourke, is a masterful exploration of experimental soundscapes and ambient textures. The duo's unique approach to composition and improvisation is on full display throughout the album, with each track showcasing their ability to create intricate sonic landscapes that are both mesmerizing and immersive.
The album's opening track, "Hence," sets the tone for the rest of the record with its hypnotic guitar loops and pulsating rhythms. From there, the duo takes listeners on a journey through a range of sonic textures, from the haunting drones of "Indeed" to the glitchy, glitchy beats of "Behold."
Throughout the album, Ambarchi and O'Rourke demonstrate a deep understanding of their respective instruments and a willingness to push the boundaries of what is considered "music." They embrace dissonance and experimentation, but they also know when to pull back and let the silence speak for itself.
Haven't heard Haino in a while.
Love it.
