Wollo, Erik
Blue Radiance
As a bridge leading to a new uncharted continent, Erik Wollo's Blue Radiance transports the listener along innovative, shimmering and sonorous musical pathways. The 19th solo album frofrom this re-nowned Norwegian ambient/electronic artist continues to develop and refine his masterfully crafted soundworld into an intensely detailed fusion of elegant compositions and deep atmospherics. Built around catchy and accessible rhythms and melodies, Blue Radiance presents eleven brand new compositions of sophisticated and engaging electronic music featuring Wllo's trademark ebow electric guitar swells, rounded out by occasional acoustic guitars and percussion. Leisurely, open, and demoods from intense sequen- cer movements, to more free and floating timbres and drones. The album title "Blue Radiance" suggests music from the blue and icy tone spectrum; from the darker blue to the almost snowy white. However here are a broad spectrum of feelings and atmospheres, all infused with high creativity and imagination. Intricate, sparkling and carefully shaped. Music that takes you to wondrous places that is both enigmatic and eclectic.
