A meeting of electronic minds takes place between David Margolin Lawson and David Merrill on this collection of five modular musings. Lawson plays a collection of keyboards, synthesizers and various electronic machines along with Merrill on various “mutable instruments” and computer crafts.
Inspired by the likes of Morton Subotnick, Edgard Varese and Steve Reich, the two create a kind of Tangerine Dreamlike tapestry on the soundscape of the 16 minute “Morning Meditation” , while soft puffy clouds float on the fluffy “A Day At The Beach” while the atmosphere turns to dark and ominous Nimbus warnings on “Dark Angel”. There’s a kind of Indonesian marimba on the static pulsed “Dark Angel” that reverberates for 10 minutes, with celestially synthesized voices giving an electronic ethereal quality to “Coda”. Diodes and cathodes of meditation.
