BLUEPRINT by &RUE

Ambient sorcerer &RUE returns to Unbeyond Anthologies with a new evolution of his style, the “BLUEPRINT” EP.

Haunting as ever, &RUE’s mastery of atmospheres is yet again on full display across this new 5-track project. Icy drones and distant pianos make for a decidedly more melodic project when compared to “The noble and great ones”, while still being profoundly chilling.

The far-off calling of mysterious melodies in “regaining sentience” and “qualms” bring a sense of warped groundedness, while songs such as the opener “SYNOPSIS” return to the ghostly soundscapes that &RUE has perfected.

"With ‘BLUEPRINT’, I wanted to challenge myself further with my ambient sound. As an artist who works with live/acoustic instruments more than electronic, I was curious to see how far I could push, extend an idea without giving myself a time limit. With every track having a base structure of a spur of the moment improv piano recording, I took the electronic manipulation and turned it up to an eleven.” said &RUE.

“Whilst borrowing traits of ambient noise wall, hauntology, drone, dark ambient, and field recording, I aimed to create another seamless flowing project as well. One that feels better connected than previous endeavours. For a five-track EP, I only used three project files. Canonically, there is a beginning, middle, and end."
