about

A reworking of Robert Aeolus beautiful visions...

"The most interesting of ÆOLUS’s own contributions though is his aching live interpretation of ‘Embrace’ taken from a 1987 performance in New York. Here he eschews drums in place of a throbbing, reverb-drenched backdrop dappled with pensive flecks of piano and flute no doubt informed by his classical training. The overall effect is one of hallucinogenic intimacy, like being in that liminal, meditative headspace between sleep, wake and dreams.
The rest of the compilation is given over to new interpretations of Myers’ work, beginning with K. Leimer who adopts a similarly languid tone to that found in the live recording. His use of flickering, scratchy field recordings and more refined electronic elements give the track a distinctly urban feel however – a beautifully stark reminder that most of life is spent staring down a grey day in the city, not a white beach in Honolulu.
Pharaos and Dreems each turn in pleasant, floating takes on the ÆOLUS formula, but Talisman’s highlight comes from Lieven Martens Moana. ‘Oahu Suite’ (accompanied by the gorgeous video below) is an eerie and sparse 16 minute trip that veers from abstract modular synth to birdsong to bongos to Gaia knows what else. Is that a theremin? A dial-up internet tone? The cry of a Hawaiian monk seal? Who cares, I like it."
