Oxbow B
The way he manipulates the origin of sound is incredible. I suppose I’m a novice Lorn listener, but sitting here in the dark with headphones in, trying to keep track of where each sound is located is a crazy experience. I’m not sure if I’m crazy here, but my mind is interpreting some of this like he is “splitting some of the beats/sounds” or at least that’s what I’m calling it. Where it sounds like there is a beat that starts in relative perfect balance, or close to it, and is then split at different fading paces going through to the left and right balance? It almost creates a landscape in my mind, like I’m tracing lines going down the big stone mountains that aren’t evenly shaped on either side. I love the patterns swapping too, of the arpeggiation starting going from right to left then left to right through the song. Also sounds like each time the arpeggiation is played it going through balancing slightly differently. The subtlety is either amazing or I’m just daft and hallucinatory. Anyone else?
