Crijns's first album for the label, in which he coins the term 'N-bient': ambient understood as the meeting point of nature (here, water) and acoustic instrumental writing (passages by classical ensembles). Several classes of material collide and combine - mechanical sound-fields, natural ambient, electronic textures, ensemble passages - folded into surreal, layered textures. An electro-acoustic music whose abstract elements pull the listener inward while the surface holds quiet.
*200 copies limited edition* “Shade Of Impulse” is the first album for Frank Crijns on Moving Furniture Records. For the music on this CD Crijns has coined the term “N-bient”: ambient that refers to nature (here Water) and acoustics (here passages by classical ensembles). On the album several characters of sound collide, combine and interact with each other. A “N-bient“ sound canvas of (mechanical) sound-fields, natural ambient, electronic textures and acoustic ensemble playing, all together merging into surreal textures. In his own form of electro-acoustic music Frank Crijns knows to create an organic whole with abstract elements that challenge the listener to dive deeper in, while on the other hand creating a serene atmosphere.
