One long track of flowing,<br \/>\nmostly dark sounds, with an occasional rhythm. The piece evolves<br \/>\nquite slowly and has an ambient feel, but on close listening, one can<br \/>\nhear subtle things that are not very ambient at all. Despite the dark<br \/>\nsounds, the piece doesn&#8217;t have a gloomy atmosphere, it has a pretty<br \/>\nconcrete character. That&#8217;s what sets it apart from regular ambient.<br \/>\nThe rhythmic elements are very minimal, so there is no danger<br \/>\nwhatsoever of the track becoming flat or cheesy. The slow development<br \/>\nof the work does not cause loss of attention, on the contrary: the<br \/>\ntension is kept so well, that the whole piece is very captivating.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m very sorry I missed the performance with the visuals, because if<br \/>\nthat was anywhere as good as this, it must have been a great show.<br \/>\n&#8211; Roel Meelkop, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.staalplaat.com\/vitalintro.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Vital Weekly<\/a><\/p>\n<p>More Info: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oral.qc.ca\/\"> www.oral.qc.ca<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Obstacle Phase 2 is actually a work of sound, video and animation, but this CD only presents the sound part.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[227],"tags":[790,30,225,41,346,31],"class_list":["post-837","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews","tag-reviews","tag-eric-mattson","tag-fimav","tag-montreal","tag-obstacle-phase-2","tag-oral"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.francejobin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/837","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.francejobin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.francejobin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.francejobin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.francejobin.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=837"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.francejobin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/837\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2079,"href":"https:\/\/www.francejobin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/837\/revisions\/2079"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.francejobin.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.francejobin.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=837"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.francejobin.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
