Free Floating – December 2011
Brad Ross-MacLeod’s netlabel, Free Floating, releases its second winter/holiday compilation featuring 14 artists, including Altus, Andrew Lahiff, Phillip Wilkerson and Shane Morris. Greg M comments:
“In Crystalline, I tried to convey a feeling of the warmth I associate with the winter season. I chose to avoid any coldness in the music, and focused instead on the celebratory feeling of Christmas and New Year’s, of family, friends and new possibilities. I wanted the chimes to sound like stars twinkling merrily. The tubular bells highlight the underlying solemnity, established by the unfolding drone chord at the outset.”
