Add to the short list of classic Spacemusic albums exploring the
relationship between electronic and acoustic music PATH OF
LEAST RESISTANCE (61'51") by Craig Padilla and Zero Ohms.
For this project, Padilla has refined his dense and energetic
style nearer to the level of the sleek and serene flute playing of
Zero Ohms. Together, the duo explores areas they may not have
ventured into on their own. Their music, comprised of dreamy
interludes and tonal narratives, is spacious and uncluttered.
Both minimal and expansive, the seven tracks on PATH OF
LEAST RESISTANCE float across and into each other in an
infinite, gentle mix - to which Zero Ohms introduces the soft
whisper of flutes while Padilla provides a foundation of
sustained synthesized notes, chords, and progressions. The
album is beautiful, full of commanding synth-borne melodies,
warming flute trills and the echo of otherworldly rituals
throughout. At times tranquil, somnolent ambient meditation,
while elsewhere a pulsing cybernetic entity, the Craig
Padilla/Zero Ohms collaboration is locating new paths and
branches of sonic exploration.
Tune in to STAR'S END this weekend for music from PATH OF
LEAST RESISTANCE by Craig Padilla and Zero Ohms
