Atmospheric forays into liquid light. Electronics from Pulsewidth, 2022.

PW017

“Myers’ second release of 2022 more-or-less picks up right where the previous Intervals/Interludes leaves off, exploring the grit and girth of atmospheric discharge and itinerant soundscaping with a vivacity few of his peers possess. Where many an ‘ambient’ electronic musician prefers the often monotonous ubiquity of formless drones, content with the sample-and-hold mentality that has birthed a million vapid sonic clones, Myers not only eschews such simplistic impulses but instead wholly revels in getting down in the dirt with his myriad devices. Sounds don’t merely shift across the stereo spectrum so much as mutate and recombine right before your very eyes/ears, tracks don’t proceed the way you expect them to, and, perhaps more telling, Myers always has a trick or two up his sleeve; there’s always something surprising lurking ‘round the bend waiting to upset the aural apple cart…. Drama vying with whimsy informs the vast bulk of this perplexing, idiosyncratic, and utterly engaging outing, pure manna for the ears.” - Darren Bergstein, Downtown Music Gallery (NYC)
