...according to our Ant on 17 September 2009.

Low-Point quickly follow up the excellent Celer - ‘Brittle’ CD with an album from Danish artist P Jorgensen. ‘To’ probably falls into the ambient drone category and feels very introspective. The field recordings add a lovely earthy feel to the mix. I’m really chilling out to the birdsongs on here. Such lovely creatures birds... Especially the sparrow-hawk that destroyed a woodpigeon in my garden the other day. Fucking amazing to watch, I felt like David Attenbrough. I bet he like a bit of P Jorgensen. I mean who wouldn’t as this is totally sublime and as it evolves it’s very lovely. Actually I’m reminded of Celer at times with that smart acoustic sources transformed into shimmering emotional tones thing happening. This is very colourful and warm probably like Joseph’s amazing technicolor dreamcoat. The disc plays for around thirty minutes and is split up into ten parts with a continuous flow. During this current onslaught of material in this style I’d say this is as pleasant as I’ve heard which I’ve come to expect from Low-Point who keep the quality control well above par. One big glorious sonic head massage that really does the job.

What their label says...

‘To’ is the second album release by P Jørgensen, a sound artist and composer for ensemble, theatre and film based in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Exploring the relationship between composition and chance, Jørgensen created the music for this release by drawing upon a palette of acoustic instrumentation and field recordings which were then transformed via computer processing into luminous textures, crystalline tones and vibrant ambient drones.

‘To’ is divided into two clearly defined sections across its 30 minute running time. Broad swathes of sound, juxtaposed chords and miniature crescendos during the first half give way to a more introspective and peaceful denouement as the album draws to an end.

Whilst the running time of ‘To’ may seem surprisingly concise for an album of this genre, Jørgensen’s purposeful and streamlined approach to composition ensures that not a single second goes to waste. By focusing on timbre and texture, these distinctive tracks establish vibrant atmospheres which seem to take on the properties of a morning's fog or the diffuse glow of reflected light.
