The ambient delight This Time we’re Infinite by Herzog released on Serein really inpsired me this morning. It reinforced in my mind why I love writing about netlabels and the creative commons movement so much, as the sanguine opening track Standing like towers, in a field, in the rain made the hairs on my neck stand up. Perhaps I was just in the mood to listen to something like this, but rest assured, This Time we’re Infinite is an interesting EP that’s worth listening to.
At just over 30 minutes, there’s enough food for thought. Influences are hard to track, so what I’m reminded of as I listen is probably different to anyone else. For instance, A short exchange of words by the triangulation point brings to mind traditional Japanese music, overlaid with contemporary 20th Century Western composition and an electronica composer’s adeptness for effects processing.
Despite the patterns and music appearing complex at first, there’s a coarse vein of simplicity running through Herzog’s compositional techniques. These roads are ribbons in the countryside hangs in the air with grace and charm, and Look at us only through microscopes now feels two parts of a story, each with distinct themes that are recycled throughout.
