Ambient Sunday is listening to the distant echo – Of faraway voices boarding faraway trains, with: Dionisaf – Grand Central Station #Ambient #Experimental #Drone

Your attention, please. Ambient Sunday isn’t channeling The Jam. We have US-based artist Dionisaf finding unexpected harmony in Grand Central Station.

Dionisaf is a Russian-American composer and producer based in Oxford, Mississippi. His work is in chamber and electronic ambient music. Importantly, his biog says that he “teaches us to listen and hear differently and find amazing harmony even in the most familiar sounds of the environment.” And that’s what you get on Grand Central Station.

Grand Central Station is taken from the album New York Environments. And the album does what it says on the tine. It takes the urban environment and finds melody and magic therein.

Opening with the noise and bustle, Grand Central Station at first overwhelms before turning it into almost white noise. This acts as a screen to other sounds allowing the drone tones and chimes to come through. This is properly experimental as there’s no conventional Western melody or hook. It’s slow cycling of sound and almost post-rock textures. A suspension of time and place.

It all ends up quite meditative, sitting alone and still in the middle of the hurly-burly. Why don’t you buy a ticket?

And, why not, Down In The Tube Station At Midnight
