LJ Kruzer - 'Manhood & Electronics'

Pour les "Ambient lovers" on avait déjà mentionné l'anglais LJ Kruzer via le EP 'Tam Variations', que celui-ci avait mis gratuitement à la disposition des internautes; et bien l'album
'Manhood & Electronics' d'où est extrait Tam est disponible et se télécharge contre la somme de ce-que-vous-voulez-payer.
Cela faisait un bon moment que l'on avait pas écouté de l'ambient music de cette qualité : l'atmosphère est à la fois enivrante et glaciale, et à certains moments elle est éclaircie par un beat suspendu ou un piano délicat, le tout est à ranger au côté du meilleur de Brian Eno.

LJ Kruzer :
"the writing process is rhythm-based, even if the end product isn't obviously so – i treat the melodic elements as abstract complementary patterns and repeat these patterns in different timbres and combinations to try and create more emotive music… the album itself is a contemplation of one's life and place in the world, written while on the verge of fatherhood, told through wordless computer music. 'manhood' is represented by the piano & other acoustic-type sounds in the music; 'electronics' by synthesizers, although even the acoustic instrument sounds are synthetic. some tunes feature recordings of the room sounds made (chair creaking, mouse clicking et cetera) while different parts were being recorded through cables – this was in a bid to add more of myself and my environment into the music".
