The latest from Peter Ormerod is entitled EP 8. If you are unfamiliar with his work I would say it's a mix of classical and cinematic sounds. I was reading about EP 8 and he considers this his most abstract. Truth be told I wouldn't classify these songs as abstract but I did like that he is covering new ground.
The first song is called “Moth” and this sounded like a dramatic and melancholy scene in a movie. I was imagining a war movie with airplanes flying over a jungle and some explosions in a slow motion type of thing. I think you will understand what I’m talking about when you hear it. The music mostly seems to be in the form of synths and strings. “Taking Flight” features some acoustic guitar and has a unique meditative quality. I found the main melody to be hypnotic but also quite memorable. The song does go very far from where it starts but it was very enjoyable from beginning to end. “Belonging” is very subtle. This song also reminded me of something from a movie but is way more subtle. There could be dialogue over this music. I would say it’s relaxing and have heard similar music in a spa or acupuncture type situation. Last up is “Awake” and definitely creates the most tension. It’s ominous and did sound very different from the other songs. The song slowly builds and continues to build on this tension with strings. It does change the flavor when the piano comes and sort of blossoms. The tension mutates into something more pensive with subtle moments of beauty. This is arguably the best release yet from Ormerod and is a very welcome addition to his discography.
