Bristol’s Fluid Audio specialise in lovingly handmade physical releases which house some choice ambient music, and it’s great to hear long time collaborators James Osland and TSMM fave Andrew Heath teaming up for them again.
Osland has been producing a steady stream of ambient music for the last ten years, alongside running the respected Elm Records label featuring a host of well known, as well as new and notable artists. Andrew Heath shouldn’t need any introduction to the TSMM faithful, having appeared numerous times in the blog and playlists, he really manages to hold down the quality whilst maintaining a regular release schedule of time worn, tape distressed, unassuming electroacoustic works.
Andrew Heath - James Osland (well his hands at least)
With five of the six tracks weighing in at over ten minutes long they defy meaningful description, but rest assured it really is a stunningly constructed blend of field recordings, minimal piano and ambient textures that will keep the attentive headphone clad listener busy for weeks exploring the soundscape depths and marvelling at the precision sonic placement, or for the less obsessive listener provide a potentially ignorable ambient world that will pleasantly serenade your sedate activity of choice. Tune in and sit down, and here’s a teaser of that packaging:
