Gwenan Spearing has transitioned from techno to ambient music, showcasing her latest work, "Degrees of Freedom," under the alias Phase Space. This EP features ambient tracks that combine electronic and acoustic elements through innovative sampling and manipulation. The music is characterized by varied time signatures, layered sounds, and real-time improvisation. Key tracks like "Sync," "Generator I," and "Sleep Pressure" exemplify her distinctive approach, where familiar sounds are transformed, creating a beautifully melodic yet unsettling listening experience. The project emphasizes curiosity and texture, inviting listeners into a unique sonic journey.
Sync opens the EP with stretched and delayed cowbells, creating a pulsing analogue rhythm that welcomes listeners into a deep ambient experience.
Generator I showcases a balance of beauty and uncanniness, where deep melodies evoke dreams while keys add a layer of random chaos.
Some Pluck hints at elusive instrument sounds resembling steel pans as Spearing experiments with random layering through her synthesiser.
Sleep Pressure is crafted as a lullaby for adults, blending soothing melodies with faint, clattering metal sounds that disrupt the tranquility.
