Andrew Tasselmyer - Formosa (Shimmering Moods)

WHAT THE COVER LOOKS LIKE:

WHAT WE SAY:

Look no further than the new Andrew Tasselmyer mini LP via Shimmering Moods Records for your Sunday suitable soundtrack as he encapsulates the natural beauty of Taiwan by layering the sounds of the island, that he captured on his travels, into a becalmed sea of gentle drones and serene ambient tones.

WHAT THE PRESS RELEASE SAYS:

I visited Taiwan in the spring of 2019. Over the span of 10 days, and from the back seat of a bus that slowly rumbled around the island, I recorded the sounds that shaped this album: sonic traces of the endless mountains, gorges, beaches, and forests visible from the windows; ancient and imposing geological forms, immune to the human forces at play there. The island of Taiwan has been repeatedly subjected to cultural whiplash and regime change at the hands of various nations since its settlement by indigenous groups over 6,000 years ago, including the Chinese, Japanese, and Dutch, but it was the colonial Portuguese term “Ilha Formosa” - meaning “beautiful island,” and coined at their first sighting of the island in 1542 - that seemed most capable of describing the place, and most capable of transcending all those manmade barriers, borders, and governing articles.
