Digital Images



a nice review about "Digital Images" on Encyclopedia of Electronic Music


http://www.pugachov.ru/eem/pa.html#PHROZENLIGHT

Phrozenlight (Netherlands)

Shimmering Lights (2007)
Starlight (2007)
Far Side of the Galaxy (2008)

Space Music by Dutch artist Bert Hulshoff who had previously released a wealth of albums as free downloads. Shimmering Lights became his first solo release on a physical (CD-R) carrier.

"Digital Images", on the other hand, is one of several albums available for purchase as download from MusicZeit (well worth visiting if you don't mind downloads, by the way). It consists of one eponymous track that clocks at almost 59 minutes.
The composition begins with subtle drones that gradually gain in volume, as more mysterious sounds are added on top.
No sequences are to be heard, just long-drawn drones, windy synths and metallic resonances.
I am reminded on Oophoi even. After 5 minutes, the wind effects get louder and more intense. At the same time, the texture of sound becomes deeper, like an endless well sucking you in.
This is music on the border of Dark Ambient and Space. So, is Dark Space an appropriate term to describe it? Perhaps.
If you enjoyed your early Tangerine Dream (and I mean real early stuff here, circa Zeit / Atem), you might find this exactly to your taste.
The music becomes quieter, and then louder again, like waves of the mysterious dark matter surrounding you. Towards the middle of the piece, the music becomes intense to the point of menacing, with drones completely overpowering your ears.
After 30 minutes, hints of melody start to slowly creep in, but the music is still firmly in the abstract / droning territory, with mysterious resonances playing the lead role.
As we are passing the 50 minutes mark, the windy sounds get louder and the music more focused, before dissipating into darkness towards the end.
Digital Images is great late night listening for those who love the spookier, darker variety of Space Music.

Phasewind



Phrozenlight "Phasewind" (download album, 2007)


"Phasewind" is one of several Phrozenlight albums available as downloads from MusicZeit. Cosmic wind sounds and subtle synth flashes get this long-form work underway. Soon, melodic drones are introduced. After a while a phasing effect is applied to them, giving the sound a very early 1970's feel, reminding on both Tangerine Dream's "Zeit" and Klaus Schulze's "Blackdance". The mood of the piece is somewhat dark but a bit restrained. The sound is raw, unpolished and archaic. I think those who enjoy classic 1960's - 1970's science fiction and those early experimental EM records will find this exactly to their liking. As we are making a progress, some ethereal choirs appear and come to the fore. Out of this sound miasma, a random sequence slowly creeps out, giving more focus to what is still a very abstract and freeform track. However, soon the sequence becomes more strident and prominent. The music subtly changes key, while the choirs go from spooky to ethereal and back. After 55 minutes, the sequence departs, leaving us in a space where cosmic flies swarm in plasma winds. Piercing sheets of metallic sounds find themselves in the company of ethereal choirs and ubiquitous whooshes. We finish firmly in the "Zeit" territory, with low drones, oozing pads and phased organ-like sounds. In a way this album is similar to "Digital Images" but whereas the latter was built exclusively around drones, "Phasewind" is based on a random sequence which dominates the middle section of the track and does not change much throughout its length. Like "Digital Images", it is great music for passive listening which means: you can turn it on, turn off the lights and just drift off to it. It will be enjoyed by fans of Space Music and maybe also the Berlin School and even Dark Ambient, although "Phasewind" is more ethereal and mysterious than dark.
