As a bridge leading to a new uncharted continent, Erik Wollo's Blue Radiance transports the listener along innovative, shimmering and sonorous musical pathways. The nineteenth solo album from this renowned Norwegian ambient/electronic artist continues to develop and refine his masterfully crafted soundworld into an intensely detailed fusion of elegant compositions and deep atmospherics.John Diliberto of Echoes Radio wrote of Wollo's previous album Timelines: Recording since 1983, releasing 18 solo albums in that span plus collaborations with musicians like Steve Roach, Ian Boddy and Kouame Sereba, Wollo shows a command of detailed orchestrations and dramatic melodies... (this) could be a gentle walk through a Norwegian forest and easily devolve into New Age prettiness. These quiet, introspective and slowly unfolding pieces have a musical vastness of space, highly lush and expansive washes, powerfully evocative and soothing translucence. Sepia is more acoustic, featuring guitars and piano which evoke a warm nostalgia: an organic sonic texture contrasted with long and elegant guitar EBow lines. Earth Sky closes this journey with beautifully hazy synth swells added with distant soaring guitar voices. An utterly suspended, lyrical and sublime outro.Blue Radiance is an album highlighting Wollo's extraordinary luminous mastery.
