Greinke, Jeff
A Thousand Year Flood
Genres: Neo-Classical, Ambient, Minimal, Post-Classical RIYL: Olafur Arnalds, Nils Frahm, Johann Johannsson, Max Richter. Turning shadows into sonic emotional rivers, synthesist and composer Jeff Greinke's "A Thousand Year Flood" skirts the edges where modern classical, electronic and ambient music converge. Working with cellist/violist Heather Bentley, Greinke's first record for Projekt in 26 years is a hybrid of ambient chamber music and electroacoustic beauty. Throughout the near- hour-long set, atmosphere is critical to the impact as Greinke locates his paired-back mini- malism within a setting of spaciousness and sensitivity.
