Celer is the solo ambient project of
sound artist Will Long, who works out of
Tokyo, Japan. He is well known for
producing dense, emotive creations that
are never lost in the gloom of myriad
other ambient releases, due to the
remarkable delicacy of each layer of
sound in his pieces, which never become
overwhelming or too drawn-out to to
sustain their initial emotional content,
as is so often the case with many
extended ambient compositions.
Indeed, the thought that goes into Celer
releases is evident from the incredibly
detailed titles that Long has given to
each of the three tracks on Epicentral
Examples of the More or Less, with each
small portion of the title being
relevant to an individual phase within
each overall track û an arrangement
choice which is made, on listening, into
a feat of compositional skill, due to
the fact that the tracks, even when
starkly cutting between samples of
reversing tapes, field recordings, and
Celer's trademark throbbing, glowing
drones, at no point ever sound merely
like a compilation of small pieces.
Rather, the album remains cohesive
overall, and whilst at points the
listener is met with surprises in the
form of phasing waves of bright
sequencers - a sound that many would
never have imagined Long using after
listening to releases such as Evaporate
and Wonder - or even acid-house synth
waves on Fill Your Light With Lessness
from the third and final track -
Epicentral Examples of the More or Less
retains the genuine emotive content that
has become a cornerstone of Celer
releases, coupled with a creative talent
that leaves most contemporary ambient
music dead in the water.
Recorded over two years in Jakarta,
Indonesia and Tokyo, Long appears to
have had time to revisit these
recordings over and over again, allowing
him to produce a release that is
simultaneously a step forward for
Celer's sound, and the level of musical
wizardry that the rest of the ambient
scene must now aspire to reach.
