Drawing on his deep knowledge of sound creation and manipulation, he uses the studio like a separate instrument to create distinctive, alluring and otherworldly atmospheres. With captivating approaches to sound creation, his latest Projekt album <B>Forever Cascades<\/B> presents a series of intricately-layered sonic vignettes and impressionistic soundscapes inspired by shoreline walks over the last year. <\/p>\n<p><BR>\u201cThough my walks near the San Francisco Bay were initially a way for me to clear my head,\u201d says Fang, \u201cI also found myself drawn to the cycles and cadences of tides and aquatic life that shifted gradually from season to season. I was seeking a similar underlying cadence or pulse in these pieces that would evolve over time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><BR>The album&#8217;s opening piece, \u201cFour Points West,\u201d sets the scene with sustained and relaxed electronic tones suggesting vast open spaces. The trail begins with the atmospheric piece, \u201cCircling the Eternal Lake,\u201d that combines treated piano, gamelan, and hypnotic electronic textures. A lively piece, \u201cThe Clockmaker,\u201d follows, combining acoustic and electronic strings, and a pulsing synthesizer.<\/p>\n<p><BR>The title track, \u201cForever Cascades,\u201d continues the album&#8217;s momentum with layers of echoing electronics and cyclical patterns along with sounds from a dulcimer and a clavinet.  The atmosphere shifts down to a more relaxed pace with \u201cThe Land of Nine Rivers,\u201d a nine-minute organic soundscape populated with a multitude of melodic particles and fragments that form continuous and sublime currents of harmonious sound.<\/p>\n<p><BR>Once refreshed, the hike continues with the evocative polyrhythms of \u201cMoir\u00e9,\u201d a short minimalist-inspired piece that combines the sounds of bamboo percussion, organ, and synthesizer.  The minimalist mood continues into the next piece, \u201cSeahorses and Aeolians,\u201d with tribal patterns and mysterious electronic atmospheres evoking an uncharted region of the Fourth World.<\/p>\n<p><BR>The mood deepens with \u201cMurmurances,\u201d a concentrated and extended meditation of pulse and interlocking melodies that features Fang&#8217;s haunting violin, accompanied by the sounds of a Balinese drum, mouth organ, textural electronics, and yet more strings. One last pause for rest follows with gamelan sounds and sustained electronic tones in \u201cLeaving Alpha.\u201d <\/p>\n<p><BR>The album completes its cycle with the brief but spacious \u201cOut of Frame.\u201d The walk through sound returns to where it began with subtle changes in perceived time and space.<\/p>\n<h2>Release Date: December 10 2021<\/h2>\n<div class=\"socials\"><h2>love it, share it<\/h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00391%2F&t=Forrest+Fang%3A+Forever+Cascades+%28CD%29\" class=\"socials-small facebook-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Facebook\" >facebook<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00391%2F&text=Forrest+Fang%3A+Forever+Cascades+%28CD%29\" class=\"socials-small twitter-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Twitter\" >twitter<\/a>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00391%2F&media=https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/PRO00391.jpg&description=+%0D%0A+%0D%0A%0D%0A\" class=\"socials-small pinterest-small\"  onclick=\"window.open(this.href); return false;\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pinterest\" >pinterest<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00391%2F&title=Forrest+Fang%3A+Forever+Cascades+%28CD%29\" class=\"socials-small google-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Google\" >google<\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\n<a href=https:\/\/projektrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/forever-cascades TARGET=BLANK><IMG SRC=\/store\/assets\/images\/Button-Bandcamp.png width=129><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":24380,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[50,49,570,102],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-24379","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-ambient","product_cat-electronic","product_cat-forrest-fang","product_cat-world-influenced","pa_artist-forrest-fang","pa_format-cd-in-4-panel-digipak","pa_label-projekt","pa_release-year-832","first","instock","sale","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple","border"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/24379","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=24379"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24380"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24379"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=24379"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=24379"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=24379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
