Ancestral Voices - Divination (2017)

‘Divination’ is the second LP to come from Liam Blackburn’s Ancestral Voices project. Where his debut LP ‘Night of Visions’, reconstructed his rhythmic approach into a primal framework, ‘Divination’ sheds the beats almost entirely and focuses on soaring drones and Liam’s refined approach to ambience. There is moments of tempered elation (Revelation, Inscriptions, Cleromancy), contrasted with black hole soundtracks (Geomancy, Hieratic) with the overall feel of ‘Divination’ becoming a gently traversing voyage through a revolving mood-scape. With ‘Divination’ following more beat oriented EP’s for Samurai Music and Horo, Liam redefines the sound of Ancestral Voices with every release. ’Divination’ is a glistening example of the singular voice he provides to electronic music.
