36 & Duenn - Distance as Power (2021)

Dennis Huddleston, the ambient artist from UK, has such a long discography that it can barely be believed. Only this year he created 4 albums (featuring a collaboration with Awakened Souls). The last one, Distance as Power, is created together with Duenn, a Japanese vocalist, and present a very airy take on drony soundscapes.

The Japanese artist (who frequently works together with Merzbow for instance) provides the ethereal part of the project with the dispersed vocals creating soundscapes on their own. Foggy and mysterious ones. But the further into the album, the more important the role of the dark electronic drones. It's this kind of slow, contemplation-fueling music that is perfect for the long winter nights, especially in the finishing parts of the album when the layers of sound are heavy and leave little space for focusing on anything else than the music itself.

Distance as Power costs 6 USD.
