Tim Coster is a new breed of field recordist. Not content to simply present a collection of sonic holiday snaps, yet not effecting his material to the point of digital abstraction, Coster's compositions always maintain distinct hints of identifiable sounds which create (rather than document) a genuine sense of space and place.
Although his extensive instrumentation is listed on the cover (everything from computer to birthday candle to the mysterious 'soundclub') Coster blends electronics and instruments so effectively that to identify source material becomes difficult and irrelevant. This record is soft enough to lull a listener into sleep, but not without some quite harsh textures and tones buried deep within each piece. There is a beautiful grasp of dynamics present here. Subtle shifts in the pieces invite the listener into a kind of hypnotic state, and sparse interjections demand the listener's attention right til the end of the album. -H/T
