With a sonic pallet of generative ambient textures, minimal piano, and live acoustic performances from Chris Shorth (Ma Ja Le) & Susan Johns, The Butterfly Chamber features richly woven textures and sinuous atmospheres. The Butterfly Chamber is a refined, delicate and beautiful piece of work. James Johnson has advanced his art, especially from the standpoint of musicality, and the incorporation of more traditional elements, into an ambient style.
Reviews:
"The accompanying harmonies and gorgeous, liquid phrasing of this album bring to mind the stillness in the murmmer of a warm night or the gentle transformation of twilight's diurnal mediation... The Butterfly Chamber is not focused on the destination of the musical voyage nor the details of the trip, but on the simple idea of motility."
"James Johnson fills The Butterfly Chamber with teasingly vague otherworlds, decorated with a tasteful amount of accessible soundforms... all at a stunningly relaxed pace. Very nice... A." |
