In The Pendulum's Embrace CD SNN78

Returning again to the hallowed halls of BJB Studios in Sydney, Oren Ambarchi expands the scope and range of his unique musical language, incorporating an even broader palate of instruments and sensibilities.

Despite the use of glass harmonica, strings, bells, piano, percussion and guitars, it’s startling that the world created is still unmistakably his own, and that there is such a cohesion of vision throughout the albums’ three lengthy pieces.

With this record there’s an even more tenuous coexistence of fragility and density; sounds as light as air mingling with wall shaking low-end.
