'Half Finished World' is by Felicity Mangan and its title reminds me of the Death Star like from what's out of Star Wars. Have you seen that building they're supposed to be doing in Dubai that looks like the Death Star? There was a picture of it recently in Vice magazine and it looked funny. This is one of those recordings that was apparently made to accompany visuals, in this case dance, so there's always a danger of feeling like there's some sort of crucial missing element but thankfully these slow moving tracks of rich, gentle drone with subtle electronic twinkling sidestep that particular issue with their sheer relaxing loveliness. It's a 3" jobber packaged in a cute felt pocket on HellosQuare.A three piece suite by a one time member of Matt Nicholson's Function Ensemble for the dance work 'Half Finished World'. Built on playful ideas with field recordings and acoustic instrumentation, this release is like a world in slow motion brought to life with gentle brushstrokes of sound.
