Ice Formations, by Time Rival

Ice Formations

by Time Rival

supported by

Acef Stripe A really lovely release from Time Rival. It has a gentle quality and flows perfectly through all the Ice Formations. Im glad this one did not get buried with the onslaught of DIY releases occurring. Favorite track: Ice Formation II.

Rinchen Choesang What a great little album. I like the motivation behind the release, and it can be heard in the musical result.

A very grounding and meditative album. Very glad I subscribed and think it's a pity that so few others have done so. Michael is definitely an artist worth supporting!

Thank you!!! 😎

______________________________

Ever since I got my piano, I've been interested in making these ambient looping sketches. I just sit in front of the piano with a stereo pair of mics and play it into a series of delays. There's something very peaceful about being off the grid and connected to the instrument. Each little click of a hammer, buzz of a string, or squeak of the seat gets incorporated into the music.

Ice Formations is a collection of 4 of these works. There's a wintry vibe going on here that seems perfect for the time of year, but there's also this internal warmth that perhaps is trying to tell you that everything's alright. Sometimes that's all you need to hear. If this year has been rough for you, like it has been for literally everyone that lives on this planet, I made this for you.
