Ian William Craig returns with a gorgeous new album of material comissioned to soundtrack 'Magnesium_173', an elegant puzzle-based PC game inspired by quantum mechanics. On double vinyl, the LP comprises 12 bold and immersive pieces, totalling 80 mins of new music, with Ian using modular synthesis for the first time. Anything but passive/reserved background sound-beds, it possesses a real weight and power, displaying his peerless power as an improvising composer able to summon and shape the sublime via modified tape decks, electronics and his beautiful voice, forging a unique kind of choral-based, heavily-abrasive take on ambient composition.
