Introspective soundscapes glide through the speakers and hang in the air, peppered with the slightest of piano lines that glisten in the ambient twilight, as recordings of life's surface noise are repurposed to calming & curious sonic ends in this detached, but by no means unsympathetic, ambient LP from Anton Friisgaad on Vaagner. A perfect Sunday morning soundtrack.
What The Release Notes Say
Minor Blossoms is a collection of ambient vignettes, crafted to evoke and nurture inner emergence. Through analog processing and re-amping, Anton Friisgaard conjures nine sonorous petals, guiding listeners into a state of contemplative emergence.
The music is made using reel to reel tape machines, acoustic piano, digital audio editing and granular sampling. Gradually created in process of continuous resampling, processing and recomposing acoustic recordings into. Acoustic sound was fed into analogue and digital processing chains, and from there, alternated shapes and emerged. These shapes, forms and timbres have then been composed into the music of Minor Blossoms.
“I've always gravitated towards an inner state where thoughts and emotions blossom on their own – a realm of connections and experiences, hidden beneath the psychological surface of daily life. This state provides a profound connection with what is stored in the spiritual realm. I want this album to be the soundtrack for that inner journey.”
