Artist: Hibernation
Title:
Ambient Re:Works 01
Released:
28th June
Following on from
the recent ambient re-works of the Kaya Project, Seb Taylor applies
this method to another of his projects Hibernation. When he mentioned
on social media he was toying with the idea, I immediately thought
having always liked the Jazzy elements utilised in some of the
original tracks, that this would work perfectly.
As always Seb plays
a number of different instruments from guitars, bass and piano to the
zheng (a Chinese plucked string instrument) which he utilises in
‘Wabi Sabi’ over rippling water and laid back atmospheric synth
voices and fx. Guest musicians are also featured such as Natasha
Chamberlain (Kaya Project) with vocals and flute, Susi Evans adds clarinet
to ‘Empty Cities’ (where you could easily draw comparison to
Floex) and Vicki Flint plays mute trumpet to the strings and harmonic
vocals of ‘Aquarius 138’.
For me the tracks on
this album yet again bridges the world of traditional music with the
electronic, whilst achieving an atmosphere with these re-mixes that
you want to find in an ambient album. In other words perfectly
suitable for a lazy Sunday afternoon.
