e-dition magazine Bert Strolenberg This is the first cd from this Dutch ambient musician, of which I hadn't yet had the time to listen to. "The Tone T(h)ree" is a collection of re-mastered older tracks that were recorded in spring 2000. Like the tree branches featured on the cd inlay, this is tranquil and slowly morphing Eno-esque like music that has a hypnotic and inward effect. The minimal music is a quiet pool of in-depth textural music, which flows in a timeless manner. The delicately sculptured soundscapes have a strong introspective impact that draws the listener even closer into its spacious well of sound. "Part 6" is a real delight, and it is the best piece of them all. Towards the end of the cd the music becomes cloudier; a darker character with some occasional drone elements that almost crosses the boundary into experimental music. The closing title track is light and vibrant, and it returns the Eno like sounds, which seem to be one of the core inspirations of Matthew's music. |
