Here’s a bit of ambient goodness to start of Free Music Friday – Herzog’s First Summer And The Running Dream:
first summer and the running dream” contains 5 tracks with a complete duration of 30 minutes. Compared to his earlier works “first summer…“ has a more droning, a bit distorted character. The sounds are layered very softly and sublime to a very harmonic composition. The overall mood is quite laid-back with noisy, distorted splinters. The noisy elements are getting stronger to the end of the EP but it leaves still a very harmonic picture.
You can preview the album with the music video above and download the tracks at the Resting Bell label site.
