Impset (aka Christophe Cabanie) was the creative force behind "Tinram LR" an ambient IDM release on Jon7.net Microlabel in 2007. He returned later with this set of 4 tracks that continue the sonic themes explored in that album. The feel is still ambient, but much darker and moodier than "Tinram LR", but still maintain the dubbed-and-delayed qualities that have made his tracks so enjoyable to listen to.The opening track, "Profonde Lumieres" provides a feeling that is relaxing yet punctuated by a mystery, like a ship moving slowly through dense fog. "Noires Ombres" lives up to its name, full of black shadows of sound, bridging a gap between dark and light ambient. "Hypno 06" provides the rhythmic sensibility that characterized much of "Tinram LR" and rolls in like deep gray storm clouds. In the closing track, "Mutine" the light is like that of stars in the dark night, with a warmth like that of the comfort of knowing the ground is beneath you, but with a coldness like looking up into the night sky and realizing that gravity holds you onto the face of the earth, and by its grace you are kept from being flung into that same dark night.The French are well-known for their contributions to Impressionism. This release may be considered a continuation of that historical trend, or it may simply be taken at face value as more fine ambient work from one of our valued sound art family members. Enjoy, and feel free to comment!
