17 February 2024. Floating Points. "Birth4000"
Floating Points "Birth4000" not a song for your synth aficionado convention
Painting by Akiko Nakayama
I went into this song expecting the tenderness of Floating Points' collaborative album with Pharaoh Sanders and the London Symphony Orchestra.
Instead as the synth arpeggiates the listener back hallways of a club, until you can hear the music getting closer. There’s a doorway at the end of the hallway. A person passes through, the music gets louder. You’re in the middle of the club. Frenetic bananas.
If you know anyone who would enjoy or benefit from this weekend’s Getting in the flow, then please let them know.
