Shawn Rudiman - yesterday sky (2025)

Starting with highly textural and layered slow-mo machine rhythms, pure down-tempo funk full of syncopated synthetic melody, were straight into Shawns trademark craft from the beginning. From there were locked into an album in its truest sense, a finely constructed architectural marvel - from vast deep-space ambience to propulsive swung sequences - from ethereal atmospherics to euphonic harmonies - from intricate sound shapes to hypnotic acid. As Shawn says: The way I look at albums of any sort is that theyre a soundtrack - ambient especially. Also of the opinion ambient can have rhythm and beats. They just have to be appropriate and work well. For me its feel. It has to feel right. Has to grip you and hold you. No matter what. I try and catch the feelings and ideas that come to me and thru me. No matter what they are or their form/genre. Their feelings and impacts are what remains for me, in order to shape the sound and emotions they carry. I simply try and transduce them for others to experience, and put the emotional words into coherent artistic sentences. Thank you to quiet details for the chance to present this work!
