Chad Hoefler explores the impressive range of moods and
atmospheres capable with electronic sound. QUIET GLOW
(63'26") consists of eight tracks which seem more like night
thoughts than composed works. The pieces are spacious and
open, and seemingly empty moments are filled with tranquil
beauty. The smoother works develop over time with ominous
drones depicting an overcast scene, soon brightened by wispy
harmonious synth chords. Scattered throughout the playlist,
curious rhythms bounce and echo in dream-like slow motion.
Each of Hoefler's pieces possess a sophisticated and
uncluttered sonic motion. Even more interesting is the subtle
movement between bright and dark ambience. Hoefler is
operating under the reciprocal influences of creativity and
technology. His music is internally expansive, fully occupying the
bounds of the listener's mind and approximating its many
different states.
