Synopsis

Product Description
Fang produces soundscapes suffused with peace and a sense of floating and drifting beauty that are wondrous to explore." - Alternative Music Press

Phantoms is Forrest Fang s 9th solo album and the follow-up to his Projekt release, Gongland. Nearly eight years in the making, Phantoms builds on the gamelan-influenced soundscapes of its predecessor by weaving organic sounds of non-Western stringed and percussion instruments and filtering those sounds through a rich melodic tapestry of warm and vaporous atmospheres. Fang s subtly layered and continually evolving textures combine his Asian influences with his love of fractal algorithms that reflect the chaotic beauty of nature. The ambiences of Phantoms evoke a state of contemplation within a world in flux. The centerpiece of the album is a 23-minute ambient suite The Hallucinations of Hung Tung inspired by the otherworldly paintings of a Taiwanese fisherman and outsider artist.

"Fang makes a perfect labelmate for such spirits as Vidna Obmana and Steve Roach. Good for both late night relaxation or close attention." - All Music Guide
