around the end of last year i happened upon
steve moore's
pangaea ultima, an album released on
spectrum spools, which has recently turned into
one of my favorite labels (thanks to works from artists like bee mask, container and donato dozzy). listening to
pangaea ultima was my first serious foray into the music of this
US producer, who makes obvious his penchant for grandiose synth music of all shapes and sizes. but moore has been
quite active for over a decade with various projects, like the duo zombi, and more recently he's appeared on labels like kompakt and L.I.E.S.
while i highly recommend
pangaea ultima, further research into moore's music has led me to his 2012 album for
cuneiform records,
light echoes. in particular, i've become rather obsessed with this fourteen-minute masterpiece, and the second of a two-part suite, "light echoes II." it all seems so simple; it's mostly 'just' a set of upward-curling arpeggios woven around endlessly sustained tones, but subtle modulations and bold key changes help turn it into a breathtaking trip. here's the
youtube link just in case. otherwise, no more words... make rocket go now:
