Life and Death

256 Pi this is inevitably gonna get overlooked by lots of people but I was pleasantly surprised by this, very emotional and well-crafted ambient project that's very clearly Tim Hecker inspired and kept me invested even through these tracks' long running times. I'm not even much of a noise music guy and while those harsher noise elements could be a bit of a turnoff occasionally they still didn't get in the way and could even enhance the experience especially in the "Death" segment. very solid stuff!

about

Inspired by Steve Reich, Tim Hecker, and Yellow Swans, this album is an amalgamation of those musical acts. Part a love letter, part a defining peice of what Robert White has been trying to get across in his music since the beginning of his career.
