Mining a provenance of sounds from a distant & disbanded
orchestra Milieu reassembles then quietly broadcasts the
collected notes into a wide expanse. It is his first full
ambient offering to be heard from a library of many hours of
sound experimentation in drone, ambient and lush found sound
litanies. Beyond the Sea is shrouded in distant fog...there
are lights that seem to appear briefly and then are calmly
eclipsed. There is a fascination in this nebulous balance of
sonorous melodies from decades ago, almost hopeful, yet an
undercurrent of a somber theme that is draped over the entire
composition...
This is American composer Milieu's first proper release --
following two limited edition releases for the Belgian label
U-Cover. Influences include The Caretaker's Haunted Ballroom
and from William Basinski's Disintegration Loops series.
The first 150 copies include a bonus CDR (INFX 019) entitled
Beyond the Stars Lies the Sea (see our separate release).
