Palisades by Rory Tilt

MYSTIC TIMBRE 044

Though the title Palisades brings to mind an enclosure, the first ambient full-length from Glasgow's Manuka is anything but fenced-in; rather, its presence looms like fog over the picturesque highland vistas of the producer's wide-open native Scottish countryside. One will, however, find themselves surrounded – enthralled – as transportive bodies of sound are pieced together from moody piano sessions, one-take Eurorack improvisations, granular processing, melodic synthesis, and rapid-fire experimentation. The warm cloak of soundscapes evoked from these beds of generative tones and textures is delicate and airy, fleeting, though dense with shifting substance and shimmering detail.
