From Fluid Radio:
Like so many artists working today, David Andree’s practice finds expression in various forms: painting, installation, video and sound. For his first tape release, on Florida’s Sunshine Ltd., he has produced 45 minutes of warm ambient sounds and tape manipulations, recorded in real time without overdubs.The result is like seeing sunlight hit the surface of water from underneath. Like moving underwater, each track is fluid and graceful, without implying a lack of energy or direction. Brightly coloured sounds dart about, singly or in shoals, before fading back into the murk. The lack of overdubs means that arrangements are kept simple, but Andree uses this simplicity to his benefit, creating open, transparent textures.It’s true that the warmth and character attributed to analogue media do not necessarily guarantee good music, but in this case Andree’s choice of working methods and format clearly pay off. I found “In Streams” to be a rich and immersive release, with enough delicate shifts in tone and timbre to keep me listening again and again. If you’re a fan of ambient music, and you don’t own a tape deck, this album is reason enough to get one.
