Description
Eight distinguished artists have written and recorded original pieces which join the dots between vintage, experimental and neo-classical ambient music as they pay tribute to the relaunched Made To Measure composers' series. All tracks were made to measure for this album, and revolve around
the loose idea of wordless fiction.
Aside from being such a seductive, fascinating collection of tracks and moods, the album is also modestly aimed at joining dots between certain classic ambient composers (represented here by Benjamin Lew & Steven Brown and Stubbleman, whose work has previously appeared in the Made To Measure series), artists who approach experimental ambient from their pop or club background (Lucrecia Dalt, Inne Eysermans, Matias Aguayo), and eminent exponents of the great new generation of ambient music composers (Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Christina Vantzou, Mary Lattimore, Félicia Atkinson). Fictions was curated by Marc Hollander.
Press:
"The album compiles eight tailor-made pieces that navigate a path between ambient, soundscapes, adventurous electronics and modern classical stylings...Taken as a whole, Fictions represents an absorbing, inspiring collection onto which you can write your own personal narrative." - Further.
"The show-stealer is Stubbleman's ambient 'Ne Pas Se Pencher Au Dehors'. Its rich textures are peppered with drawn-out blasts from avant-garde Norwegian jazz trumpeter Nils Petter Molvaer, making for an engrossing listen." - Electronic Sound
