<\/div>\nIt\u2019s a bit daft to repeatedly compare instrumental music with an ambient bent to soundtracks for movies that have never been made. With Aural Stream<\/em>, though, it\u2019s appropriate, and inescapable. Few production outfits are able to make music so visionary, imaginative and virtually pressing up against the medium to push its creatures of the mind into the real world. <\/p>\n How To Disappear Completely is a live ambient collective based in Poland and their latest EP was reputedly burned live in October 2021 and April 2022 to 2 inch tape. If that\u2019s what provides that warm, enveloping sound, I hope they have an endless supply of it. Other than the first track \u201cDawn Breaks Through (Iterum),\u201d HTDC resist the urge to loop these beautiful sounds into epic scale tracks \u2014 most of these are under six minutes, one under four. As much as I love a big, sloppy opus, these work: repetition plays out but never taxes your patience. These songs slip silently into the back of your consciousness and then to the forefront again. The sound is almost painstakingly perfect \u2014 Aural Stream<\/a> is likely the most well-produced ambient album I\u2019ve heard in 2022. <\/p>\n HTDC\u2019s tracks are made for looping, that\u2019s inescapable, but feel like they\u2019re chunks broken from one piece. Play them together, in sequence, because the leitmotivs and repeating themes are telling a story. <\/p>\n
