Glimmer by Andrew Heath

Glimmer is a collection of pieces that explore texture, light and shade through treated field recordings. Initially inspired by recordings that I had made of the sounds of sirens at night from such a point above a city that their call was blurred, becoming soft and diffuse. It grew however, to encompass recordings as diverse as falling snow and radio static. Overall these pieces convey to me a sense of warm and enveloping darkness with an occasional faint and flickering light which seems perfectly suited to the coming nights of autumn and winter.

Ambient, piano based, lower-case music. Quiet and intimate - it explores sounds from both acoustic and electronic sources, along with processed field recordings and gathered, ‘found’ sounds. This music is not static though. It drifts. It constantly shifts and creates new maps that are full of change but listen carefully and you’ll also hear quiet, random glitches or shimmering dissonances.
