Album DescriptionConfluence is Danish producer Jonas Munk's third installment in his series of ambient albums, following the much loved The North Shore from 2003 and Bajamar from 2006. Unlike Munk's better known work, which centers around electronica and shoegazing aesthetics as well as a love of 1980s production techniques, these ambient works are completely without beats, or even time signatures, and are delicately constructed out of slowly evolving streams of guitar that has been processed into oblivion and back. But even compared to the standard set by the two aforementioned albums, Confluence is surprisingly dark and minimalist. These eight new compositions move slowly and seamlessly, like the ebb and flow of the changing tide, with subtle layering and filtering providing the essential means of movement.
