The tracks incorporate and meld various sounds and techniques, relying predominantly on field recordings, electro-acoustic manipulations, ambient drone, and some solid (though often subtle) instrumentation. This blending of techniques is exemplified by the opening track, \u201cHilltop, Surrounded by the City.\u201d Beautifully played piano and an undefinable ambient sound, mingle with wildlife recordings, to create a track that is equally majestic and meditative.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The song titles themselves often clue in listeners to the source or setting of the tracks as they unfold. As the title implies, \u201cMornings in the Cafe\u201d offers a quick glimpse into the bustling life of a morning eatery. The track is almost straight field recording, but with some twists and bends to manipulate the raw sounds. Other tracks such as, \u201cBirds Eating Bread From a Frost-Covered Wall\u201d and \u201cTrains Seem Slower From London Streets\u201d further explore minimally manipulated field recordings.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps my favorite track on the disc is \u201cThe Cat Dreams of the Coming Storm.\u201d Over 5:19 minutes, storm and rain recordings collide with forcefully played piano. It\u2019s a rather eerie piece and kind of sticks out to me from the rest of the disc. The final tracks \u201cRegion of Quietude\u201d and \u201cPhase Space Timbral Transform\u201d once again mix instrumentation with field recordings. The former track incorporates strings with a harmonium-like sound, while the latter presents a droning instrument not unlike a Tibetan singing bowl.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It goes without saying, as with all Gruenrekorder release, the recordling quality is excellent.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve had a really good history with Gruenrekorder and always look forward to their releases with delight. \u201c&#8230;between\u2026\u201d is no exception. Parmar &amp; Colohan have created ten skillfully crafted pieces to accompany you through life\u2019s mundanities and then transport you to the ethereal realms.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.musiquemachine.com\/reviews\/reviews_template.php?id=4810\" target=\"_blank\">link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &#8222;&#8230;between&#8230;&#8220;\u00a0|\u00a0Robin Parmar &amp; David Colohan GrDl 135\u00a0| Gruen Digital &gt; [order] MP3 &amp; FLAC Reviews &nbsp; Places are made real as we encounter them, through our physical presence, memories, and imagination.
