Search - Forrest Fang, Sans Serif :: Unbound

Unbound features veteran ambient musician Forrest Fang exploring lush and abstract
terrain under the Sans Serif moniker. Using very small at times microscopic sounds
as source material, Fang utilizes a vocabulary of long shimmering tones that gradually
warp, mutate, and transform over the course of a piece. Fang explains, The Sans
Serif project is my tribute to minimalism. For each piece, I have stripped sound
down to certain tones and sonic elements that reappear, with variations, on a much
larger scale. The processed elements are the clouds in each piece's landscape that
gradually shift from one end of the landscape to the other. On Unbound, Fang takes
the Sans Serif concept one step further by creating a series of extended soundscapes,
each with its own distinct personality and mood. The varied atmospheres range
from incandescent ( A Silver Season ) to dark ( Lost Oracle ). Though rooted in
abstraction, at times the music possesses an almost luminous physicality.
