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.
