Style: ambient
Primary Emotions/Themes: droning ambient based on guitar chords and other atmospherics
Thoughts: Guitar driven ambient is rare. So rare that this may be the only such album in my collection.
Jon Porras utilizes a ton of effects on his guitar resulting in simple melodies fading in and out, chords trickling in, and layer upon layer of guitar drones creating the backdrop of the music. The end result feels like the music is coming down a waterfall. Small at first but as it gains speed the notes start cascading faster, eventually creating a mighty roar.
I cane across this album in a bargain bin. The cover looked cool so I picked it up. There have been a few of those kinds of albums in my collection and I'm proud to say that this is one of them. I've always had it in my mind that I need to look up some more music from this guy but I never have done just that. Maybe this is the catalyst that I need to finally get off my butt and do it.
