Ronald Mari\u00ebn), is a world of shimmering drones, engaging post-rock, and quiet passionate ambient. Traveling further on the same road as Stratosphere\u2019s previous release, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/product\/pro00317\/\">Aftermath<\/a><\/strong>, the guitars emerge in big layered clouds rising into the glowing sky through intricate applications of distortion and texture. Created with one electric guitar, a bass guitar and tons of pedals, <strong>Rise<\/strong> sounds clearer and more harmonic than its predecessor.  The album displays an expansive emotional palette; the darker sounds are less harsh and, dare we say, optimistic. The difficult period of Mari\u00ebn\u2019s life now behind him, a new dawn has risen and is audible in his music.<\/p>\n<p><BR>Textura.org\u2019s comment on Stratosphere&#8217;s previous release applies here as well: \u201cMelody is more pronounced on the Stratosphere set, plus the music is less retiring and more assertive. There\u2019s an ambient-drone dimension in play for sure, but Mari\u00ebn also works into the release elements of prog and post-rock. (\u2026covering a lot of ground) the variety on display only makes the result more appealing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><BR>Creating music is an emotional release for Mari\u00ebn with each track developed spur of the moment. Not knowing how each track will evolve \u2014 even for the composer himself \u2014 allows a discovery of the subconscious. <\/p>\n<p><BR><strong>Rise<\/strong> is seven tracks within the post-rock sound Mari\u00ebn has traversed his entire career.  Mysterious and mournful, the guitar-based moods of <strong>Rise<\/strong> have a sense of hopefulness \u2014 a calm sky opening after dark, difficult storms. <\/p>\n<p><H2>Street Date: March 21st 2016<\/H2><\/p>\n<p><h3 style=\"color:red\">This item is out of print, and here for historical reasons.<\/h3><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"http:\/\/projektrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/rise\" TARGET=BLANK><IMG SRC=\/store\/assets\/images\/Button-Bandcamp.png width=129><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10773,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[54,50,149,49,494],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-10772","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-all","product_cat-ambient","product_cat-drone","product_cat-electronic","product_cat-stratsophere","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","product-type-external","border"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/10772","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10772"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=10772"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=10772"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=10772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
