A Walk in the Shadow Garden

by Rudy Adrian

supported by

The Itzamna Collective Incredibly beautiful, soothing & wrapped in mysterious atmospherics for the mind to explore in it's own time.

A perfect follow up to As Dusk Becomes Night, an amazing achievement considering the exceptional qualities of the previous album.

Transcending beyond ambient music into communication directly with the abstracted language of the nervous system.

It's music to help the body let go, very unique & from a genuinely special place that is sensitive, mysterious and gliding into serenity. <3

On A Walk in the Shadow Garden, as on previous albums throughout his career, Spotted Peccary Music artist Rudy Adrian paints sylvan scenes with sound. A percussive trilling on “Dawn Redwood” could be the hammering of a woodpecker’s beak. Glittering chimes evoke light through tangled branches on the track “Hemlock Grove.” Such is the music of nature to Adrian, where these twin passions of a life upon the Earth have been forever forged.

Inspired by the sacred environment found when alone in a garden, Adrian planted his own sonic garden for the listener, painting vibrant scenes with electronic textures and chimes as well as acoustic guitar and flute. On the title track, an arpeggiator flutters like insect wings over echoing acoustic guitar chords, as intertwined as bee and blossom. Hear the wind in the panoramic tapestries of “Clouds Over Fields,” see a morning’s silver fog drift down a hillside in the spare piano of “Rising Mist,” see moonlight dapple the waves in the eerie chimes of “Dark Waters.” The eleven compositions here invite exploration without calling attention to themselves. Adrian eschews vocals and even melodies to create an open space for the listener: a companion piece for rest, reading, and walks down winding forest trails.

With this release, Rudy Adrian speaks truth in the purest form of Ambient Music. A Walk in the Shadow Garden is testament to this form and to an electronic architect at the height of his powers inviting the listener into his place of peace.

Despite being released in January, I find this album a perfect vibe for the spring days; a landscape of opportunities associated with the awekening of mother nature and the whole range of fresh perspectives that dwell all around us and open up thanks to that special gleam in Hollan's music. I don't know how he does that. jamezzo
