Sequences is a Belgium based solo endeavor and ’Vespertine: A Tragedy In Several Tones Of Grey’ is the projects debut album released earlier this month. Limited to just 75 copies Sequences presents the listener with music within the ambient/drone genre with some mild experimentation. The music as you may have guessed is quite dark in its execution and the experience is like traveling through shadows while descending ever downwards to some unknown realm or cavernous dwelling. The inclusion of some acoustic guitars (performed by J. Neblock of Vindensång) and some barely audible voices only enhances the mood further and makes you wonder if there’s ‘something’ out there as you continue your plunge into the gloom. Truly remarkable the only aspect this album suffers from is the short length (35 minutes) and the fact that it comes in just a plastic sleeve. Hopefully more is to come as I certainly can’t wait to hear more. For the curious this album can be downloaded at last.fm.
Thanks for this review, I am truly honored. I only want to correct that J. Neblock did not perform any acoustic guitars, he has contributed several layers of ambience on three tracks of the album. And I will make up the short length of the album, by releasing some more music this year. A follow-up release is planned, aswell as several collaborations and/or split albums. Thank you.
