~ DEEP AMBiENT SOUNDSCAPES CONCEIVED FROM LiVE PERFORMANCE EXPERIENCES ~
One of the twelve best Ambient / Space Music CDs of 2006
" This collaborative effort between ambient artists Sylken, Anomalous Disturbances and URM is an exploration of various permutations of space music, created on synths, virtual synths, and e-bow guitar. Seldom dark but never overly warm either, these pieces cruise effortlessly through the ether, occasionally accompanied by rhythms but frequently serene and cloud like .. SADU LiVE shares the sensation of drifting among the inky blackness (smooth washes of synths) while stars twinkle all around (soft reverberating tones, twinkling notes and melodic whistling electronic textures all convey assorted astronomic imagery and visualizations) .. These three artists weave a deep, lush violet tapestry of synthesizers and e-bow guitar with all the elements coalescing into a cohesive whole, painting a sonic portrait of broad planetary vistas.
SADU .. a collaborative project formed by electro-ambient musicians
