Tone Ranger's "Confluence" Is a Wild, Whispered Invitation to Lose Yourself (and Perhaps Be Found) - KALTBLUT Magazine
Briefly

"Confluence" is a multifaceted album by Tone Ranger, blending desert house sounds with new influences from mossy woods and spiritual landscapes. Recorded in diverse locations across Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico, it features field recordings alongside orchestral elements and electronic sounds. The album is a confluence of styles, avoiding strict categorization between genres like ambient, dance, folk, and classical. With contributions from various artists and a companion film, it embodies the sacred oddities of the Southwest, creating an expansive experience of vastness and intimacy.
Crafted across the tri-state triangle of Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico, "Confluence" weaves field recordings, orchestral flourishes, and electronic murmurs into a textured whole.
Simon describes "Confluence" as "stepping into the unknown, the darkest part of the forest, the depths of the ocean and finding home."
This album refuses to stay in one lane; it’s neither strictly ambient nor dance, neither folk nor classical, but stitches them together with an intuitive grace.
