Maitreya : telluric waves

Four years in the making, Telluric Waves is Simon Lomax’s second exploratory effort into deep ambient soundscapes. In just under an hour, this album takes the listener on an amazing journey through luxurious landscapes and waves of sounds as the eight compositions on offer appear almost static, evolving imperceptibly, evoking the way ice forms and melts, crystal after crystal… Telluric Waves show the man constantly altering his soundcapes, feeding on highly processed found sounds to produce ever-changing structures, repeatedly avoiding the pitfalls of a difficult genre. Telluric Waves requires undivided attention to fully appreciate its many layers and constant shifts, and therefore is in many ways a difficult record.
