Oblong is the latest project from Ben Edwards
(aka Benge) which sees the electronic musician
collaborating with live instrumentalists to fashion
a highly emotive brand of acoustic electronica.
The trio of long-term friends behind this record
(completed by Dave Nice on double-bass, guitar
and field recordings, and Sid Stronach on piano,
Fender Rhodes and acoustic guitar) made this
album over the course of two years at a secluded
farmhouse in Somerset. These sessions were
then manipulated and edited at EdwardsÆ London
studio, where a deft blend of analogue and digital
sound sources was finalized in the (rectangular?)
shape of this album.
This is highly melodic, atmospheric music, all
magnificently produced and held together by
electronics and environmental field recordings.
Particularly worthy of note is the closing track,
æRendezvousÆ which features the usual high
standards of Ben Edwards programming in
conjunction with the kind of stately post-rock
cello arrangements youÆd find on a RachelÆs album.
Lovely.
