rikm An inspired meeting of musical minds, bringing together three exceptionally talented sound explorers. It should come as no surprise that the trio work seamlessly together, exploring uncharted new soundworlds of great beauty and wonder.

Highly recommended...

juanbattaglino Magnificent! Lots of ambient releases end up sounding similar.... This one has personality, ideas, feelings, and each track is a beauty. Favorite track? All of them. Favorite track: 1,000 Theos.

about

With POV2 : The Case For Square Waves While Searching For Happy Accidents Peter Grenader, Steve Roach and Miles Richmond have ushered a new departure from their first release, returning to their Westcoast minimalist roots while testing a wide pallet of sonic possibilities - from ethereal timbral pastures to biting, hard hitting fury.

The thrust of POV was to sculpt a multi-timbral sonic landscape forged from a confluence of sound sources, The sonic food chain began from a core of electric and processed guitar via a modular synthesizer equipped with both standard and granular sampling capability. The infusions of flute and acoustic piano are on tap for further boundary pushing as are a few essential analog synths both virtual and vintage. Ultimately it's about the music itself, The point of view provided here is yours to experience, open to a myriad of interpretations.

Guest artists include Thighpaulsandra, Theo Travis and Martin Shellard.
