EED Presents: Milieu - Sun White Sun

[Shichman]

FREED MUSIC #5

Suffused with milieu's inimitable, breathy, organic sound and virtuosic studio technique, Sun White Sun is another exceptional set of sound sculptures from a true master of the genre. Thick with harmonic resonances, at times it conjures waves of parched heat rolling off the ground, and others, a placid ice floe, seemingly motionless in space. It is the refraction of light through a diamond, viewed through a dreamy and communicative ether.

There's another release by Millieu, isn't there...i feel like i learned of it here and have a CD burned somewhere.

These are very well-done ethereal soundscapes. In fact they're gonna accompany me on a transatlantic flight tomorrow. Music for flying.

one small criticism: some of the guitar-based songs aren't mixed wonderfully. That is, the instruments are too quiet and there's a lot of white noise like you get when you record with a cheap mic. But maybe it's intentional added warmth?

Anyway, well worth checking out!

yea, i cant speak for him, but the white noise is likely intentional... he is an educated and accomplished producer who does things in the studio his own way... Thanks for the comments thu, and enjoy the music

Listened a few more times, and this is nice stuff, indeed! Very nice guitar sounds, and lots of reverb and echo/delay yield some interesting results. Th last track is a lil trying for me, since it's almost 15 minutes of the same tone droning on, but the subtlete changes in that track andbetween some of the other more abstract tracks has an appeal.
It might be of interest for those dirts who dug "I'm a Big Sister"-type ambience, even!

Thanks again for making this music available for sharing!
