Stray Ghost – Reminiscences Et Reves De Beaute Stray Ghost – Reminiscences Et Reves De Beaute
Excerpt: “Copious layers of soothing electronic elements blip, bloop, and glitch their way to an EP of mellow chilled out music…an almost perfect example of how to create an intelligent EP showcasing what can be done with a minimalist approach to the electronica genre.”
Excerpt: “Willenbring peppers his discreet, minimalist compositions with deliberate and interloping melodic accents that promotes active listening but without obligation…Breadth and depth are supplied by adding and subtracting layers of vibrant tonal swells in periodic waves, often times forming shadowy soundtracks to mysterious worlds but just as often providing a serene, hypnotic and majestic soundscape suitable for daydreaming. Close, But Not Too Close entertains in stellar fashion with hauntingly beautiful atmospheric compositions that should please fans of ambient music.”
