Transient – “Purgatories 2000 to 2008″ – [Self-release]

This is an electro-acoustic project of David Molina, whose talents range from composer, musician, sound artist, sound designer to live sound engineer. He’s been at it for at least 17 years, and thinks of the recording studio as just another instrument. This release has a few collaborations with Garret La Fever and Chris Webb. With the title of the album, it seems like these may have been floating around, deciding their fate, when he finally compiled them for this release. Very pretty, mellow and dramatic electronic-kissed melodies with subtle, gentle strings.
