Nicolai works directly with the piano sounds, dismantling Sakamoto's recordings with "surgeon-like precision" into micro loops; into their atomic elements. Starting with these sound atoms, he creates a new basis for form, compressing, floating, and rotating rhythm with harmonic sequences and melodic counterpoints, and laying it underneath the piano tracks. This makes insen appear more complex, though the time-stretched flow and the clear lines of the piano stay untouched. (via Amoeba Music)

Alberto Iglesias creates gougeouse soundscapes. The music composed for Almodovar's "Talk to Her" is my favorite so far.

Coming Home ~ Yungchen Lhamo

First to recommend

Description

It's dreamy, at least that is how it works for me. Some years ago I'd play "Coming Home" just as I entered the bed and by the 3rd track the silvery voice of Yungchen Lhamo would sing intoxicating notes through the deep inner membrane of my dreams
