Autumn: a time of recession...a majestic, inexorable withdrawal of energy as the northern hemisphere retreats, by degrees, from the sun. It's a time of cooling, shrinking, ebbing, descending, darkening of preparation for the challenges of winter.
In music, it's the sound of smoky timbres, dissonant harmonies, descending progressions, slow suspensions the sound of disengagement, retreat, escape. This week we explore that soundscape with electronic music by PATRICK O'HEARN, PAUL ELLIS, RUDY ADRIAN, DARSHAN AMBIENT and more, on a program called RECESSION.
