Macedonian/Welsh ambient producer, Jordan Christoff, offers up his latest pair of ruminant arrangements titled, 'Liminal'. Liminal is a meditative long play with drifting, transcendent ambient soundscapes. These compositions were performed and recorded live between January-February 2019 on Lekwungen territories. No computer screens, sounds or presets involved in the creation of Liminal.
“Split into two evenly-timed tracks, Liminal is an experience that adheres as closely as possible to the platonic ideal of drone music, wholly enchanting and minimalist throughout its runtime. The first part of the record, “Iron Goddess,” is built around just a few pads, with very little movement outside of slow, shifting filters. It’s a meditative experience—the consistency of the track makes it predictable and relaxing, but it avoids being completely static and uninteresting. “Valentine” is much more active. Again, the track is built around largely unchanging elements, fusions of field recordings and hardware synthesizer pads, but here those elements are alive; frequently ducking out of the mix and re-entering. What emerges is an album based around consistent momentum, tracks that moves and shift but retain the core of one very specific idea until their end.”
