Jefre Cantu-Ledesma. Conversations With Myself

Commissioned for a special event at the San Francisco Museum Of Modern Art, this 'soundtrack' of sorts offers up a gorgeous collection of new age ambience and blissed out soft focus kosmische drift, five tracks, 55 minutes, each piece a hazy bit of looped guitar shimmer, equal parts ambient krautdrone and warm whirling dreamscapery.
Cantu-Ledesma, a member of late great post rockers Tarentel, as well as one of the folks behind the Root Strata label, now has a handful of solo records under his belt, running the gamut from deep dark dronemusic to blown out shoegaze guitadrone, but this is most definitely his most hushed and intimate, delicate and crystalline. A series of slow soft focus smears of prismatic glimmer, hushed arrangements of softly tangled guitar harmonies and slow shifting textures, glorious slow motion cascades of echo drenched melody and hazy indistinct chordal swells, like watching a time lapse film of the universe being born, a slowly developing landscape of colors and shapes, all seeming to float weightlessly in a wide open expanse of star flecked emptiness, the swirling contrails of the drifting notes blurring and oozing into one another, transforming the sky into softly swirling clouds of washed out sound, an endless expanse of ebb and flow, the sound wrapping up everything in their warm ethereal embrace. So lovely.
