Listen to sleeping houses

With comparisons to Brian Eno, Robert Fripp and Hammock, the deep ambient blogosphere has described past Abstract Aprils work as “tranquil,” “rich in organic sounds,” and a “masterpiece of ambient music.” Inspired by the vast skies and landscape of western Montana, these past releases have explored a marriage between ethereal organic layers and experimental electronic sounds. 2021 however, marks the start of a new chapter, with the release of four Moedi volumes. A strict limitation was placed on the writing of these songs - everything you hear is entirely made from synthesizers. No microphones, no field recordings, no organics - only electronics - only oscillators and the manipulation of their audio signals. In fact, the word moedi actually translates to “limitations.” Ironically, boundaries can open the door to freedoms. The challenge of making the songs interesting under these limitations led to unexpected and unique outcomes. Finding depth may have been more difficult than usual at times, but, with a nod to author Ryan Holiday, sometimes the obstacle is the way. Indeed, even the song titles were limited to one word. Moedi is a new chapter for Abstract Aprils - one that was not held back by limitations, but rather given its pulse by them. The result is a rich, unique, and enduring ambient offering.
