On an irregular basis, I absolutely love to listen to some sophisticated ambient music in the final hours of the day or in early night time. It gives an opportunity to reflect a bit on things and put the mind to rest before turning to bed. The following recording is most suitable for such occasions.

“Architexture of Silence”, the 18th release by Alpha Wave Movement, sees the return of composer Gregory Kyryluk using a very minimal hardware (0% software synthesis) setup and no computer-based sequencing whatsoever. He actually relied on an old-school hardware sequencer as a sketch pad while carefully shaping and sculpting the five gentle movements (all ranging between 10 and 14 minutes in length) that would end up as this full-length cosmic album.

The free-form and neatly structured outcome is subtle and tranquil, taking on slow turns and shapes as it progresses in a fluid, transparent tapestry of soft shimmering and slow morphing (drone)textures. It’s not exactly meditative, but harmonic with a certain soothing, minimal current running underneath.

4.Hindutonic Waves 09:55

The 45-minute release indeed is an oasis of tranquility and harmony. Here, gentle flowing textures lead the way on the four tracks, with reflections of distant Tibetan bells, wind chimes, sounds of nature and string instruments to accentuate a remote eastern aesthetic (according the composer).
Occasionally, there’s a slow sequence or a light rhythm implemented on the background, as on “Awaken”. In addition, I very much love the progression of soft soaring pads on the third piece “Tranquility Temple”.

As such, the nicely crafted and dreamy “Yasumu” creates a quiet and soothing mindset to let the mind breathe and settle down after a day in the fast lane of things. Listening to this sonic repose with headphones will do the trick even better.
