Worrytrain - sparrow happenings (cassette rip)

Worrytrain - sparrow happenings (cassette rip)

Genre: Ambient/Acoustic/Minimalism

Format: mp3 | CBR128kbps

Country: USA

Size: 24 Mb

Tracklist:

01. having it and losing it on a sinking ship

02. looking and finding it on many shores

03. holding it and loving it as the world passes by 

04. setting it free on private property 

05. remember it in a pissy alleyway at the end of it all 

Description: all of you guys possibly have already heard about Worrytrain, one-man project that is pretty much popular among neoclassics and ambient lovers. The fact is that posted album (or EP, whatever) is way lesser listened, because it represents the very early period of Worrytrains music, where he haven't developed his sound from experimental acoustic ambient to the blend of modern classics and noise. That is definitely the reason to consider Sparrow Happenings a hidden gem. It's amazing how he creates the special relaxing mood on this record using that necessary minimalistic sound of his instruments and combining it with field recordings. Sometimes monotonously hypnotic, sometimes hopefully bright. A sound that can be found on thousands of records and at the same time cannot be found anywhere else. Recommended.

Description: Crane's Dreams project, combining into one such musical genres as ambient, drone and neoclassics was born in 2011. Roman Barinov, the only member of this band have decided to create something different from what he'd been doing in his metal project called Liveride. Thematic concept of Crane's Dreams music is not only a bright side of Russian landscapes beauty, but also its dark, ghostly side.

Project compositions combine the ambient base with different noises, nature sounds and voices. The influence of neoclassical music can be heard in some tracks as well, when droning noisy sounds are diluted with detached strings and atmopheric pads. Album cover is made by author. By now the discography of the project consists of one release, dating back to the beginning of spring, 2011 (translated from Russian).

Very good atmospheres here, highly recommended for download for lovers of airy uplifting soundscapes.
