Novak, Yann – “Snowfall” – [Dragon’s Eye Recordings]

abacus   6/12/2014   A Library, CD

Hour long immersion into the hushed stillness and isolation of a snowstorm as reproduced by self-proclaimed sound, light, and space artist Yann Novak. Originally part of a 6-hour audio-visual installation using photographs and field recordings collected where audience could come and go as they pleased, offering a more personal experience. This composition weaves delicate, eery ambience over silent shimmering drones. Frigid swells of gentle breeze carry clouds of crystalline ice and snow. Serenity at the eye of the storm. Wear your mittens.
