Earthroom - Heuristic Environments (Mystery Circles) [Ambient]

As Earthroom, Philadelphia-based musicians Tyler Pursel and Morgan Evans-Weiler craft soily compositions that feel at once timeless and cutting edge as they pull from styles ranging from ambient and folk to jazz to neoclassical.

Pursel got his start gigging in the Philadelphia DIY scene, playing a myriad instruments in various hardcore and punk bands. But he slowly distanced himself from those rough-hewn roots, becoming infatuated with more fluorescent electronic sounds.

Multi-disciplinary Evans-Weiler comes from a more traditional creative background, and cut his teeth playing in the ensemble Ordinary Effects. Additionally, he has worked with an impressive cast of composers, including Alvin Lucier and Christoph Schiller, and is also an accomplished visual artist.

On their new album for Mystery Circles, it's all of eighty seconds before the breadth of their genre fluid, electroacoustic, neoclassical, field recording, new age, kankyo ongaku & hypereal electronic ambition become apparent, but by then you're too far downstream to go back, & having far too much fun in the unpredictable currents to really care. It's a stunning, enthralling, boundary questioning ambient ride.
