Influences: Oval, Fennesz, Sogar, The Orb.
Sounds Like: "Matters is a graceful collection of candid instrumental explorations; it works very well both by headphones and as soft ambient presence." - Touching Extremes
"Beautifully deep and with searing chord progressions that lock you into the tracks from beginning to end, these tracks have personality and beauty in equal measures. Superb, and as with the excellent Achrid CD as well, highly recommended." - Smallfish
"Attending to the carefully modulated unfurl of static and tonal detail that extends throughout the meditative "Light 8," one is reminded of kindred soundscaping releases on labels like Room40 and Touch. More often than not a placid ambiance reigns but there's nothing objectionable about that when material like "Early Nineties" and "She's Affecting" is so soothing and evocative." - Textura
"A collection of flowing ambient tracks made for the less hectic part of the world." - Electronic Desert
Record Label: Benbecula, U-Cover
