David Lee MyersTerrenus

Terrenus is an exploration in purely electronic sound, and although much electronic music is characterised as “space music”, Terrenus is much more accurately portrayed as “earth music.”

This album follows along similar lines to David Lee Myers’s Frontier (2022) which also keeps its feet firmly on the ground. Faraway cloudy countrysides and foggy riverbeds are conjured up, and one can easily imagine vaguely drawn maps intended to guide explorers through these ill defined territories.

Myers is well known for his focus on feedback principles in music creation. It is true that this can result in shrieks of cacophony and siren wails, but not necessarily, as seen here. Delays and other processors are force-fed their own outputs via matrix mixers, samples are captured and looped randomly, and joined by various other electronic elements to create soft beds of abstract sound.
