Alejandro Morse - Auditory Visitations

Alejandro Morse has been carefully constructing sound for over a decade. Every track on every album shows commitment to a particular philosophy, which is to make slow-burning music that can permeate the mind of the audience and reward its investment with an emotional payoff. Resonance is key, both as a sound tool and an intellectual goal.

Auditory Visitations displays at least two basic features of Morse’s work. One is the music’s focus on subtle dynamics. Ambient, experimental or otherwise, tends to stay still. It chooses a specific sound-picture and it stays there. But Morse likes a good arch. He’s a bit of a storyteller, with a keen interest for the curvatures of time. Auditory Visitations makes a lot of sense as an abstract story divided into 3 acts, as each track elegantly fuses with the one that came before.

The other feature present is at the very core of Alejandro Morse: an emotional impact. Again, this separates him from many other genre practitioners. Neither cool and cerebral, nor aloof and detached, Morse aims for emotional resonance. You could almost say that his approach is romantic. And this he achieves by taking advantage of his compositional method, using discrete shifts and permutations to go beyond mere one-note melancholy. Sure, it may start off in that deep blue zone… but the faithful listener might be surprised at the tone that this album delivers in its final moments. And at how cleverly concealed is the hand that guides us through that twisting mountain path.
