Description
„Incidentally this cassette confirms a sinister suspicion I‘ve had for a while that the synthetic pan flute is
back - fantastic! I feel so lucky for this generous amount of delightfully bubbling synthesizer music from
C.D. Noé.
A 90-minute exploration of melodic geometry—intricate yet effortless, synthetic yet alive. Melodies ripple,
chords shimmer, patterns unfold like a living system in balance. The artist though never falls into the
sharp-edged maximalism that, at least to my ears, often weighs down instrumental electronic music.
Rather it remains throughout the release in the soft bouncing universe, where the melodies unravel in
and out of each other in constantly growing patterns. In a year where reality may not quite live up to the
optimism of utopian synthesizer music, it may be needed more than ever!“
- Jonas Torstensen (Franciska, Afvikling Kassetter)
„The rhythms, melodies, and textures of these generous compositions—so clearly a product of hours,
weeks, years of diligent struggle before a bank of synthesizers—are the reflection of a familiar yet
esoteric musical mathematics. Drawing on baroque elaboration, Japanese impressionism, New York
minimalism, and ambient pastorale, C. D. Noé animates his machines with a stirring sense of musical
and emotional possibility. A rare example of MIDI sequencing approaching its full musical potential,
Ornamental Hermits raises the bar for contemporary synthesizer composition.“
- Nathaniel Davis (Unchained)
