Reminiscence feels possible when the listening experience is lead to a point of elevation not in terms of the complex, but the simple. Between small noisy grains and and the repetition of their unique tonal allies, Steve Roden builds a subtle atmosphere capable of introducing the ears into a tasting of lightness, in the way it makes the body to be suspended by the music of a dream whose substance is built from the same material of infinity. Airforms is a high quality game of sound, created upon a slow, minimalist, and dedicate movement of audible elements. A job perfect for detention, allowing the stillness, requiring to follow the flow of sound as if it could submerge the mind on a swing of listening alternated between what sounds and what doesn’t. A fine dialogue of space, form and territories of memory, where sound is able to hear sound but can’t remember it, since, after all the discurse, sound only remember silences.
