Adrian Lane - "Water Wash Away the Waves"

Washes of heavily processed and glitched noise wash with lunar regularity of the tides while a stray piano melody run a needle and thread through the entire composition, keeping it stitched together. The UK based ambient artist has succeeded in creating a beautifully rendered calming ambient composition with “Water Wash Away the Waves” from his release on Chitra Records. Adrian states, "The way I work is quite similar in music and painting. I build up in layers, like starting a painting and reactions to layers develop in response to each other. In creating my music, I start with a phrase on one instrument, which I build up with another phrase on another instrument." Within his range of instruments, such as the bowed psaltery (a folk instrument with medieval roots), zither, percussion, piano and laptop, Adrian produces a very distinctive and captivating sound.
