an extremely slow motion explosion<\/strong> is the debut ambient release from yttriphie (Michael Plaster of soulwhirlingsomewhere, the legendary 90s Projekt ethereal act). Following a nearly 20-year absence, Michael returns with vapory music that is mellow and muted. The album\u2019s long waves of atmospheric crescendos sometimes nearly fall away to silence, while at other times they trace out clear paths in diverging passages. Soft, synthesized patches wade their way in and out of laceworks of thick, incandescent clouds. Pianos knell quietly over crystalline pads. Gentle, feathery, sunless, isolated, dreamy.

Michael reflects, \u201cI want the experience of listening to the music to be like going into a tranquil, flowing river. I want it to be muted enough that it can take you along effortlessly, but I also want it to be complex enough that one can be swallowed by the melodies like little shrouded stories being slowly woven together.

\u201cWithout getting too sciency, the album title concerns how everything in existence \u2014 literally every THING \u2014 is an explosion. Like a time-directed flow of energy being released. Whether chemical, atomic, electrical, whatever\u2026 it\u2019s all simply energy trying to dissipate. The law of entropy. From the massive big bang that created the universe down to your blood cells releasing co2, it\u2019s all just flow. An unceasing emptying out of every single particle. Kinda sad, really.\u201d

Beautiful vapory music filled with longing and atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pronunciation guide from Michael:
\u201cyttriphie? Oh, it is pronounced IH-tri-fee. Think of the word ‘atrophy,\u2019 but switch out the A for an Ih (like \u2018Insist\u2019). And yes I made it up.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
