Sediment, by Reid Willis

Sediment

by Reid Willis

supported by

Jonathan Avitua Another sublime album from Reid. There are few masters of atmosphere and tone, but he handles both with ease. Favorite track: Haunted Fool.

vryc I love this album. The last bunch of Willis albums have been incredible and Sediment increases the exploratory nature that he's come to be known for. Sublime and simple progressions highlighted by some innovative sound-design all structured to form a compelling listen from beginning to end. Favorite track: Sifting through The Years.

about

Reid Willis, Sediment, A carefully arranged collection of disparate movements, joined and made whole by tendinous themes of birth, erosion, decay and triumphant renewal.

Following ‘Mother Of’, Reid Willis’s previous album released on Mesh, ‘Sediment’ is a painstakingly crafted collection of songs propelled by fundamental notions of rebirth and reinvention. The delicate melding of seemingly disparate sounds echoes the natural phenomena of changing states–of decaying and eroding matter that over time is not lost, but pulverised and transformed into something new.

Each song is in conversation with its own elements and those of subsequent tracks–sometimes in cooperation, sometimes in defiance–creating an LP whose jagged edges beautifully align into a singular entity.
‘I'm always inspired by extremes,’ Willis says. ‘I find as much beauty in sadness and fear as I do in joy and love. I don't think you can have one without the other; each emotion complements and enhances the other.’

In his exploration of polarity, Willis is thoughtful with his symphonic arrangements, leaving spaces within the chaos of sharp, electronic pulses for soft, dreamlike piano melodies that carry the listener from one extreme to the next.

LORN's music is as fascinating as it is disturbing and brutal. The sound is purely evil. Listening to this on a (very) good stereo or good headphones IS an experience. LORN's crispy 24bit flacs just add "the" extra little punch. Love it, great artist. Marcs
