Yair Elazar Glotman & Mats Erlandsson - Emanate [130701 / Fat Cat Records Promo]

Scheduled for release on May 15th, 2k20 via 130701 is "Emanate", the latest collaborational outing created by Berlin's Yair Elazar Glotman and Stockholm-based Mats Erlandsson which are exploring an in between state of electronic music and acoustic recording with this piece. Albeit being divided into nine tracks "Emanate" was both envisioned and recorded as a whole, opening on a droning,  piercing Ambient note slightly reminiscent of the intense horns played as a sequel to C Cat Trance's classic "Rattling Ghosts" frequencywise, yet soon evolving into a beautifully floating, soft Ambient tapestry over the course of "From Light To Refraction", adding some mystical percussive elements in the subsequent "Interlude I" before traversing into deep, solemn, sonically rich melancholia with "From Refraction To Procession" whilst paving the way for more lush string works, overall mysticism, somewhat dramatic, naturalistic climaxes and ancient forest romanticism for those still drawn to Wolfgang Voigt's classic GAS works. Recommended.
