{"product_id":"avec-laudenum","title":"Avec Laudenum","description":"Austin dreamweavers Adam Wiltzie and Brian McBride debuted on Belgium's eclectic Sub Rosa label with a work of ambient perfection. Using only guitars, tapes, and effects, the duo spins infinitely recursive soundscapes that rival the eternal-drone fabrications of La Monte Young and Phil Niblock. Far removed from formless drift or wallpaper-like ephemerality, Stars of the Lid's tonal inventions unfurl slowly but with an undeniable sense of design and purpose.\u003cbr\u003eGhost instrumentation--phantom woodwinds, massed spectral string sections--pervades the spellbinding AVEC LAUDENUM. These illusory orchestral colors, which shade and tint the three-part \"Atomium\" suite's patient, Fripp-like string strokings, are so well defined as to seem completely tangible. But, like the receding horizon of \"Dust Breeding (1.316)+,\" they are merely mirages--auditory illusions conjured invoked through musical sleight of hand. The closing \"I Will Surround You\" is even more extraordinary, a single perfect note folded into a gorgeous, wordless expression of love, longing, and desire.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46563818176799,"sku":"796441805914","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/13839230bc132ca1379520d03737daaf.jpg?v=1782040972","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/avec-laudenum","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
