Is perception already structured to such an extent that it stops us from listening properly? Fourteen structures laid out in ever diminishing, repeating patterns of threes. Trees of samples, flown through live, restructuring memories on the fly. Can you hear your expectations?
Hearing and Expectation is an ambient odyssey, a 14-part exploration of sample structures in time and space. It wanders around the borders of ambient, electronic and experimental music. Celestial Messenger have dedicated their long career to the exploration of algorithmic virtual reality as both instrument and spatial composition environment. In 2023, they embarked on a series of four albums a year, each exploring a specific aspect of the triangular relationship between digital spacetime, coded algorithms and ambient music theory. 'Hearing and Expectation' is album number 6 in that series.
Composed, programmed, performed and recorded by Celestial Messenger.
