The latest installment of ambient works from multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and video blogger Dereck Higgins.
The dude is a music obsessive, and it shows in his jack-of-all-trades approach to creation. He's been in numerous projects over the years, but Sonospheres II finds him in a place of vast sonic expansion.
Higgins isn't writing anything incredibly long in this collection of ambient tracks, but the sounds he conjures are unquestionably deep, resonant, and textured. Enjoy!
Guitarist Kevin Hufnagel is best known for his contributions to the world of modern metal through acts like Gorguts, Dysrhythmia, While Heaven Wept, and more. But underneath all of these extreme sounds has been thriving passion for ambient music and soundscapes. This latest release isn't Kevin's first foray into this genre, and it sounds like it. I say that because the textures on this album are pretty gripping and affecting, which is a feeling I rarely get from this style of music--well, outside of producers like Tim Hecker, sure.
Give this 11-track experience a listen. Some unquestionably great sounds are on here.
