Search - Ian Boddy :: As Above So Below

Boddy has always liked to play around with genres & on 'As Above So Below' he effortlessly combines ambient, classical & electronic music into a seamless, intoxicating sonic landscape. The title track opens with great slabs of slowly evolving orchestral chords that rise up out of a cold, ethereal atmosphere. Arpeggiating piano tones, deep Moog basses, ethereal strings & analog sequencers all vie for attention in the following five tracks. The latter are at times light and playful with interlocking layers on tracks such as 'Quantum Of Memory' whereas an all together darker vibe is created on the deep bass pulses of 'Shrine'. The final track 'One Day' finishes the album off in an emotional manner with rising string melodies above haunting piano arpeggios.
