Bleep

Ambient maestro John Beltran has been hugely celebrated in the past for his curatorial abilities. In his own work, he manages to sew elements of free jazz, electronic music and organic sounds together seamlessly. This is an ethos he has brought to this compilation with a string of carefully selected contributions that bring in natural tranquility (Winter Flags) somber intensity (Merrin Karras) and a glimpse of shapeless splendour courtesy of Beltran’s own offering. Music for machines cements his status as a truly modern master of sound.
