Actio in Distans.

Berkeley, California resident Paul Skomsvold aka Former Selves returns with his “first experiment with audio cassette tape loops”, and the result is a splendidly calm piece of uninterrupted, slowly meandering ambient soundscapes, accompanied only by subtle, distant guitar plucks until a steadily growing cloud of distorted noise sets in, relentless yet somehow still not touching the tune’s silent contemplativeness. Make sure you also watch Skomsvold’s video collage which perfectly underlines the music’s mysteries.
