Ambient Sunday with: Mohsen Sokard – Event Horizon #Ambient #Drone
Just the one for Ambient Sunday this week. We have Iran’s Mohsen Sokard and the droney Event Horizon.
Mohsen Sokard is a pianist, composer and sound designer from Iran as well as the man behind Digital Dream (a postrock band) and Siberian Giant (an artrock, indie, ambient duo). His work has a strain of cinematic but also a strain of experimental to it.
Event Horizon is taken from the new Unnatural Experiments EP. It’s a deeply fragile piece, resting on delicate string drones and bits of bobbling sound. It has that timeless sort of sweep to it. An unpeopled landscape of sound and with a whoosh that could be far off winds or space hiss. There’s just a touch of neo-classical in tiny tickles of piano but not so much that they interrupt the drone. A track which aches its way into your soul throughout.
