“Radiant” continua con el segundo capítulo de Concentric Records de su compilación de trilogía debut “Colliding Wind”, lanzada a principios de este año, presentando a Soundwalk Collective, Etapp Kyle, Tragic Selector (Daisuke Tadokoro & Terre Thaemlitz), Kareem Lotfy, Christina Vantzou, Jana Winderen, Echium.

En este compilado editado en julio último por el sello Concentric Records que dirige Simone Merli (Soundwalk Collective) y Luca Calo, presenta la música de Max Loderbauer, William Selman, Petre Inspirescu, Supply, The Waves, HOLOVR y ASWA.

En “Radiant” predomina el ambient, las atmósferas ensoñadoras, ondas sonoras sinuosas y tonos brillantes. “Harmonic” con su talante minimalista de pocas notas de sintetizador analógico melódico, son como gotas que marcan un pulso suave. 

“Extension Of The Feature Model” de William Selman muestra una variedad de oscilaciones a las que luego se les va agregando una percusión que recrea un sosegado ambiente tribal. “The Garden” compuesto por Petre Inspirescu posee capas de teclados que van creando un diálogo armónico, en tanto que Supply con “Inhale / Exhale” tiene la calidez de un chill-out. “Hold On” de The Wave propone un synth-wave ochentero que pone el punto diferenciador en este compilado. “Melancholy Of Time” de HOLOVR posee sutiles notas que flotan en el ambiente, con diminutos chisporroteos. “Dust Palace” es quizá la pieza más bella de este compilado junto con “Harmonic”. Evoca pasajes épicos que consiste en capas de teclados ambientales que recorren la deriva cósmica.

"Radiant" continues with Concentric Records' second chapter of their debut trilogy compilation "Colliding Wind," released earlier this year, featuring Soundwalk Collective, Etapp Kyle, Tragic Selector (Daisuke Tadokoro & Terre Thaemlitz), Kareem Lotfy, Christina Vantzou, Jana Winderen, Echium.

In this compilation released last July by the Concentric Records label directed by Simone Merli (Soundwalk Collective) and Luca Calo, it presents the music of Max Loderbauer, William Selman, Petre Inspirescu, Supply, The Waves, HOLOVR and ASWA.

On “Radiant” ambient predominates, dreamy atmospheres, sinuous sound waves and bright tones. “Harmonic” with its minimalist mood of few melodic analog synthesizer notes, are like drops that mark a soft pulse.

William Selman's "Extension Of The Feature Model" shows a variety of oscillations to which a percussion is then added that recreates a calm tribal atmosphere. "The Garden" composed by Petre Inspirescu has layers of keyboards that create a harmonic dialogue, while Supply with "Inhale / Exhale" has the warmth of a chill-out. The Wave's “Hold On” proposes an eighties synth-wave that sets the differentiating point in this compilation.

HOLOVR's “Melancholy Of Time” has subtle notes that hover in the air, with tiny sizzles. "Dust Palace" is perhaps the most beautiful piece of this compilation together with "Harmonic". It evokes epic passages consisting of layers of ambient keyboards traversing the cosmic drift.
