Fade

Somnarium (Michael Meara) · 2020

Recorded under the project name Somnarium, Michael Meara builds "Fade" around slow tonal dissolution — sounds that arrive already in the process of leaving. Soft drone layers bleed into one another with minimal percussive interruption, creating a sense of time losing its edges. It has the intimate scale of bedroom ambient, with each soft-edged layer close enough to make the quiet feel occupied. The sounds take their time leaving.
