about

A journey across both powerful and peaceful sonic territories, incorporating field recordings from the artist's childhood and a recent expedition to Poland.

released July 1, 2005

From the first moment, when the sounds of a scratchy vinyl record and distant bells form a subtle beat, it’s clear the OTI’s Recollection is a classic-style ambient piece, more feeling than mundane musicality. Purporting to be a retelling in sound of the composer’s life, Recollection wrings deep emotional content from minimalistic output.

Impressions built from a wide variety of sounds drift by on cool drone-waves like REM-sleep glimpses of the world. And it’s not always a pleasant world. Children’s voices in "Large Open Spaces" become sharp and grating, with a sense of something being wrong as they ride exquisitely over a New Age keyboard melody. It’s a perfect juxtaposition. Mocking electronic laughter in "Another kind" is genuinely disturbing. Across its length, Recollection moves through spaces both light and dark. The sound selections are intriguing and immersive; the drones that form the musical base are elegantly minimalist and waver between calming and foreboding. This is a CD worth repeated deep listens. OTI has put an amazing amount of detail into it.
