The Slow Music Movement Blog

​Mostly we put our daily recommendations here for the blog readers among you, although occasionally we go longform.
Reading about music is a bit like looking at pictures of food - not nearly half as much fun as getting involved, so we scribble a brief intro to hopefully whet your appetite but you're better off just hitting play. Not very "slow" I know but there's a lot of music to check these days & hopefully you'll find the recommendations a handy filter.
​Trust your ears, not opinions.

goo age - Open Zone (Orange Milk Records)

What Your Ears Say & The Cover Looks Like


What We Say

I like mad scientists of all descriptions & goo age fits the profile. Here he teams up with offbeat enablers Orange Milk Records to shatter recognisable sounds & instruments into sonic shards, then with a methodical madness only he can see reassemble them into wonderous, kaleidoscopic, dimension bridging, audio collages that sound like everything & nothing you've ever heard.

What The Release Notes Say

Adrian Wright’s goo age project is incredibly varied but always delicate and beautiful, the sort of music that I associate with little abstract gardens of sound. It also reminds me of the era where unknown artists would have small carefully curated soundcloud pages that felt like their own totally insular and unique worlds. The Open Zone album is first and foremost full of precise electronic sounds, crisp high end chirps and deep, pure sine wave bass hits; the careful placement of each element reminds me a little of artists like Holly Waxwing, Visible Cloaks, or Motion Graphics, utilizing high definition spine tingling sound design to full effect. Supporting the electronics is a layer of acoustic, or at least physically modeled, instrumentation: guitar plucks, mallet hits, woodwind accompaniment, brush-work percussion, it all merges into a sort of hyperreal electro-acoustic vibe, but in focused 4D space or something; I would definitely recommend listening loudly on headphones or through decent speakers.

It seems a bit rude to not reply.
Lovely textured perhaps abstract perhaps not album.
