Ian William Craig - Music For Magnesium_173 (2022) [Hi-Res]

Ian William Craig returns with a gorgeous new LP 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 + 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 + power, displaying his peerless power as an improvising composer able to summon + shape the sublime via modified tape decks, electronics + his beautiful voice, forging a unique kind of choral-based, heavily-abrasive take on ambient composition.
