Although Carl Weigarten and Forest Fang as solo artists have
each run their music along the long edges of Ambient, World
and Contemporary Instrumental music, the collaboration
INVISIBILITY (58'36") presents works within an ingenious sonic
continuity - one where spinning out human sized electro-ballads
alongside reverb drenched textural mindscapes is the
appropriate context. The album provides a pleasant
impressionistic listening experience, one with very few
dissonant spaces. The moods created on INVISIBILITY are as
detailed and nuanced as each of the compositions. Themes of
warmth, hope and consonance emerge out of the nine
impressionistic nocturnes. For the most part, Weingarten's
guitar breathes warm chords beneath Fang's swirling synthetic
atmospheres. When this effort begins to seem over harmonious,
Fang makes things interesting by throwing in cycling crystalline
chimes or earthen percussion for Weingarten's snaking guitar
melodies to weave through. On a few tracks, the guitar is way up
front in the mix and Weingarten slides and picks poignant leads
and rolling swells, the echoes of which fade away into the vast
ambient elsewhere. In other places his long tones and loops
intertwine completely within the fabric of Fang's electronic timbral
designs. It is through these deeper spatial dimensions that
INVISIBILITY aspires to impact psychologically, somewhere
between the explicit and the ephemeral.

Tune in to STAR'S END this weekend for music from the new
collaboration by Forest Fang & Carl Weingarten entitled
INVISIBILITY.
