This is a long-form, introspective 60-minute piece with thirteen sections of enigmatic textural components organically flowing into each other. Eschewing the melody and harmony found in W\u00f8llo\u2019s studio work, <strong>Star\u2019s End 2015<\/strong> is an intricate expression of ambience and this artist\u2019s potent skills at creating space and ever-expanding sound-universes.<\/p>\n<p><BR>The concept of the \u201cSilent Currents\u201d project showcases a different side of Erik W\u00f8llo\u2019s sound. More abstract, quiet and minimal, it explores slow-motion structures, surreal soundscapes and floating currents. It\u2019s all live, all new material every time. This show was Erik&#8217;s fourth Star&#8217;s End performance; the previous three released on the double CD <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/product\/pro00262\">Silent Currents\/Live at Star\u2019s End<\/a><\/strong> (Projekt PRO262, 2011), and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/product\/arc00100\/\">Silent Currents 3<\/a><\/strong> (Projekt ARC00100, 2013). <\/p>\n<p><BR>The artist says, \u201cI bring various sonic excerpts, loops and atmospheres and perform and compose these into long continuous sections all in real time. I think the interesting things happen below the surface where everything has a slow, suspended character. Like a deep river flowing unnoticed, motion happening in the undercurrents, or tidal water flowing in the opposite direction of the top flow. These ideas have been substantial in the composing of this music.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><BR>Mesmerizing parts stream seamlessly and morph into dreamlike episodes, evoking endless space with downtempo grooves, soaring guitars, spatial explorations and bubbly sequences all moving very slowly and imperceptibly, drifting from one zone to the other. The aspect of time grows more and more apparent. The compositions evolve and curl, criss-crossing among elongated morphic pulsations and occasional sparse percussion; W\u00f8llo\u2019s trademark ebow soars above sequential movements with abstract chords alternating in succession. <\/p>\n<p><BR>On <strong>Star\u2019s End 2015<\/strong> W\u00f8llo descends into himself, realizing music completely in the moment. A truly subterranean sonic adventure!<\/p>\n<p><BR>Release date: August 19 2016<\/p>\n<p><TABLE WIDTH=400 BORDER=1 CELLPADDING=5><br \/>\n<TR><TD><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/0gO_T\" target=\"BLANK\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/Box-Erik-eList-300x115.jpg\" alt=\"Box-Erik-eList\" width=\"200\"   \/><br \/>\nJoin our Erik W\u00f8llo eList<\/a><br \/>\nNo spam.
