At times field recordings zoning in focus, at times symphonic, always searching, crystalline vectors of sound moving through one’s mental ether, Robert Hampson’s latest offering is a strange, beautiful body of sound that maintains a focus in cycling intensities and spatial situations: it’s as if certain questions are being asked, or points in a journey or narrative are being enabled or briefly imbued with life, in very subterranean places, giving it an authenticity and character that briefly reminded me of some of the more lucid dubs by Mouse on Mars, Twisted Science, or Tu M’s more electronic compositions.
The second track is initially more transient, fleeting and tense: the movement is more discernable। It then becomes more crystalline, stilled, shimmering.
