Light Pipe

speedkermit I want to call this ambient, but it’s actually pretty maximalist in places, with clouds of complex overlapping chords with slow attack and long release that seem to hang forever and endlessly mutate. Proper galaxy music

polinos Massive album of post-Tangerine Dream electronic soundscapes. Some tends towards dreamy ambient, others are more busily electronic with an at times almost discordant edge. Amazingly few dull moments.

A Strangely Isolated Place What a collection of works! Definitely my favorite from MGG out of his relentless output. Favorite track: Mirror.

Scubadevils An incredibly engaging, beautifully constructed work set out across 2 discs with some tracks unfolding over 20+ minutes. Stunning album that just keeps revealing more on each listen.

about

To summarise the work of M.Geddes Gengras is no easy feat. A tireless artist, whose output sprawls across experimental dub, ambient and low key techno, his wide ranging discography reveals a curiosity that serves as a primary driver for creation.

Light Pipe is arguably Gengras’ most ambitious recording project to date. His 10th solo recording is an epic undertaking, spanning over two and a half hours. Across the two CD set, Gengras charts out evocative landscapes of texture and harmony. Working with very simple elements, he creates a tidal like sound space, where sound layers flow seamlessly, rising and falling with an ever-changing sense of motion.

These pieces were written across several years responding the site specific performance situations. These include a durational performance in Los Angeles at The Getty Center’s Irwin Garden, a special performance alongside the banks of the LA river and performances at the El Rey & Regent Theatres, Each disc in this edition focuses specifically on either interior and exterior spaces; the indoor and the outdoor, reflecting the specific conditions of how sound operates in these types of situations.

Light Pipe is a long-form work within which multiple states of listening are possible and moreover encouraged. It’s music that is ideal for deep immersion; for sleep, for flying and for any creative states within which a sense of expansion is needed.
