AirSculpture, the synth trio from the UK, made their east-coast
concert debut in Philadelphia at The Gatherings Concert Series
on 17 April 2004. Recordings of this concert, and that of their
STAR'S END live radio concert later that night, were fashioned
into the double CD TRANCEATLANTIC and released in Autumn
of 2005. Made up of Adrian Beasley, John Christian and Peter
Ruczynski, AirSculpture has been using concert spaces to
facilitate electronic experimentation since their first live event in
September of 1995. Over the years they have found that the
atmosphere of the venue, the attention of the audience and
several other immeasurable factors, have a significant affect on
the interaction between players and acts as a fuel for their
performances. The music on TRANCEATLANTIC is structured
somewhat differently than on previous CDs. Dwelling more in
the realm of Ambient Music, this release is a journey inward to
the dark abstractions of the dreaming mind. With this work,
AirSculpture explores the fabric of sound, its range of subtleties
and the dramatic possibilities of music organized without a tonal
center. A lilting piano improvisation opens each disc but soon
the mood spirals downward into a shifting timbral plane. Drones
build amongst a narrative of humming synthetic sound and
constantly transforming tonal color. Set against these sections is
the imaginative and engaging sequencer driven patterns
AirSculpture is known for. Even here the group pushes beyond
their earlier work and into new and unique depths of throbbing
pulse, bouncing echoes and spacey beats. The result is a cool
combination of inspired play, chance occurrence and the
magnification of minute shadings of sound.
