A 60 minute continuous journey, Odyssey blends together the elements of generative music, high resolution field recordings and studio performance into a sonic tapestry of atmospheric ambience and subtlety. Continuing down the path set by James' previous award winning and evocative works "Lost at Dunn's Lake" "Entering Twilight" & "Surrender" Odyssey pushes forward into new yet familiar ambient territory.
Reviews:
"...peaceful, melancholic, beautiful, foreboding, shimmering, serene, even somewhat chaotic and frenetic... Odyssey encompasses all of Johnson's motifs: echoed piano, beautiful synth strings that are never too lush or too ethereal but still have a spiritual glow to them, ambient textures that color a melody or drone with a variety of evocations, somber washes of synthesizers and sampled string instruments that strike deep to unearth forgotten places and remembered people."
"This is a wonderful CD that kicks off hopefully the long a prosperous Journeys line of longform CD's by James Johnson. If you are a fan of longform pieces, this one is sure to be a favourite in your collection. Beautifully done, a sonic journey into the peaceful worlf of James Johnson. A Must Have for Ambient lovers!!!!!" |
