Objects & Apparitions

by Gideon Wolf

supported by

Lost Tribe Sound With attention to tone, continuity, and a subtle but intoxicating ebb and flow, 'Objects & Apparitions' stands as a massive achievement in Gideon Wolf's already impressive catalog. Often it seems classical composers feel the need to force their music to go somewhere grandiose. So I'm grateful that Wolf has done the opposite letting the mildly-evolving repetition of these pieces work their magic, allowing them to become more of a meditation.

about

Objects & Apparitions is the fifth Fluid Audio release for Gideon Wolf (Tristan Shorr). The music originally began as a score to British film All Those Things, which released in 2020. Directed by George Ravenscroft, the score for Objects & Apparitions sees Gideon Wolf’s first venture into feature-length film composition, and it rightfully stands on its own.

Shorr's modern classical music is cinematic and weighty, like his previous output, but it adapts to the listener’s own set of images, projecting onto their own private screen.

The strings are direct and emotional, intimate yet deeply cinematic.

Raw repetitive phrases of rhythm and rosin textured scrapes give way to passages of mournful beauty. Neo-classical strings are arranged like pulsing electronics and pitched inflected sweeps sound like ambient textures.

This score has been made to appear and disappear, to pulse above and below the surface of the film, a breathing continuum of strings and fluttering electronics that are there to infiltrate even the silence.

It's all the more poignant for the accompanying photography, which includes 50 prints from Daniel Crossley, taken during a visit to an abandoned hospital. The images are tainted with loss and absence, dream-like images of a forgotten place and imagined histories.

The dusty images sit seamlessly alongside Wolf's score where the film's visual narrative tells of a man's demise and disappearance, and ultimate loneliness, no one is present anymore. This loneliness is a place that breathes even in the emptiest of rooms and buildings and in these stills we feel them resonate alongside the music

Light Caught The Edges
by From the Mouth of the Sun

supported by 11 fans who also own “Objects & Apparitions”

One of the most stunning albums I've ever heard. Beautiful and meditative. The album is aptly titled, as the music brings forth images of light filtered through fall leaves and reflecting from forest streams. If there was ever a soundtrack for contemplative "shinrin-yoku", this is it. Highest recommendation. Randy Arnold

Other Other
by Seabuckthorn

supported by 9 fans who also own “Objects & Apparitions”

A remarkable LP from one man quartet Seabuckthorn for Fluid-Audio. Preparing his guitars in unusual ways, mostly playing with a bow & with judicious use of electronic processing, he has created a moving modern classical abstraction, that is deeply, yet ambiguously, emotional & that requires careful, repeated listening.
