Exploring sound, texture and atmosphere, the music of Jason Sloan is smooth and spacious. It opens up and fills Ambient zones with the slow motion of sustaining chords and a gradual metamorphosis of timbre. By adding the elements of rhythm and melody his works provide a remarkably deeper examination of the interior landscape. With layers of reverberant tones over sampled percussion loops and grooves, or perhaps mingled with cloud-soft synth pads and digital-age beats, Sloan's musical ideas posses a shimmering exuberance. Sparking then smoldering, his music plays out across an ever-changing sonic landscape.
Philadelphia based multi-instrumentalist Neil Cippon explores the ambient atmospheres possible with his six string electric bass. Using various pedals, filters, loopers and delays combined with synthesizer textures and Berlin-School sequencing, his soundscapes send the listener in an outward direction along an arc of original sounds, designs and moods.
