electronic / space ambient
Woodland Structure is an album released on October 27, by Exosphere, a sublabel of American Synphaera Records. Work of British-based space ambient sound artist Sean Costello — under the alias Isostatic —, Woodland Structure is a formidably serene, magnificent work of art, whose delightfully pleasant, sometimes lethargic sonorous atmospheres conceive a world of homogeneous tranquility, where everything is made to renew calmness as a primary element of reality, but without renouncing to the exhilarating power of sensible harmonious dissonances, that reinvigorates the dispersive fragrances of the melodies, to be perceived as a distinct degree of colorful vitalities.
With eight tracks — 1) Canopy; 2) Woodland Wakes; 3) Hollow Oak; 4) Falling Leaf; 5) Glade; 6) Sycamore Seeds; 7) Ash; 8) Woodland Sleeps; — the general anatomy of the music is simple, but full of vitality and splendor; with a creative guideline that can be as profusely versatile as discreetly diffuse, the artist's proficiency is displayed on the technical sensibilities and stylistic expansion of the melodies, that anticipates the major horizontal distinctions between the restless boundaries of the harmonies, and the serene formalism of the musical tonalities, that imperceptibly converge to make the sound more dilated, cohesive and clean, as the essence of its consistency gradually becomes more and more defined.
The salutary serenity of the harmonies dive deep into the dark realm of its sonorous vicissitudes; but with an impeccable technical disposition, Isostatic delivers to the listener a more virtuous version of reality, that is entirely subjugated by the proverbial sensibilities of sound. With a subjective system of dispersive possibilities delineated by an intricate pattern of smooth sonorous cosmogonies, the musical diagram established by the artist can be perceived as being somewhat restricted, given the structural standards of his continuously expanding atmospheres; nevertheless, the abstract tensions subtly dispersed by his diligently sculpted harmonious configurations deliberately increases the value of his spectral dissonances, that grow over the renitent distensions of its own dense and dynamic vastness.
With amazingly crafted tracks — that reverberates over the vicinities of its own splendid and serene, but distinctive and protuberant densities —, Woodland Structure, by Isostatic, is one of the most marvelous, pungent and genuinely sensible records recently released by Exosphere. With a vigorously impeccable and consistent, but at the same time soft and organic atmosphere, Isostatic conceives a delightful world of personal solitude, where everything that is human is celebrated in an introspective realm of purely existential fugacious light.
