With guitars, vocals, percussion, violins and electronics, electro-acoustic ambientician Gregory Paul creates the texturally all-over-the-place patchwork of anon which encompasses many things... beginning with a pair of oddly-entrancing folk-ethereal pieces where six-strings twang and sparkle in acoustic and electric varieties and vocalizations hover ; spirit and decibels, a gentle mini-cyclone of soft guitar jangles stirs up softly crooned strains of wordless emotion, preceding the more vaporous ripples of dustbowl couple. Crispy drum-n-bass pitter-pats over the swirly miasma of vocal loops which cycle through pollyanna smile; said beats eventually subside as the puffy waves of sound surge and recede. Somewhat more off-kilter (or less on-kilter, perhaps?) , stronger souls (13:14) reverberates disorientingly while assorted chords strum above in psychedelicate arabesques and glimmery ripples of feedback, for quite some time it seems. Awash in a dense wavering sea, strings and vocaldrones are heard between the jagged crests and troughs of clear interlude (2:27). The droning depths of anon seem considerably (and appealingly!) more sedate after the previously jarring extremes; less-turbulent spirals of glowering cloudiness are sparked with hazy, mid-tempo shuffles (and occasionally, what may be viola-like strands)... a very cool mix! Woozily droning fiddlesounds give guitcello an experimental longform hoedown-meltdown flavor. -ambientrance.org
