VIRIDIAN SUN - 'Infinite In All Directions' CD (Hypnos)
Viridian Sun is a duo focusing on abstract improvisation, featuring Hypnos founder Mike Griffin, and Hypnos solo artist David Tollefson. Their last studio album "Perihelion" was released a full decade ago on Hypnos, though VS continued to record together and occasionally perform live. The new album "Infinite In All Directions" moves into slightly different sonic material, downplaying synthesizer electronics in favour of guitar and bass guitar, electronically treated and looped. The result combines sustained, blissful drones, along with occasionally strange, complex overlapping loops. Translucent envelope with booklet.
