Spiritual Science (2017 Re-release)

by Steve Brand, Ishq

supported by

Berkdrums Wow....deep, intense, intergalactic spacy drones...! To be honest: I never knew about this album until this re-release... The sounds are amazing and all tracks are complementing eachother very well. At first listen, specially during ‘Soft Temples’ and ‘Flame Of Nuit’ I was surprised by the intense drones and dark atmosphere that I never heard before in the works of Steve Brand ánd Matt Hillier. At least not so intense and deep! I think when you really listen with attention, really absorb this album, it’ll provide you with an awesome, deep trip beyond our galaxy! I’d say mr. Brand & Hillier: let’s get together again soon for part 2!! For all ambient-aficionados out there: this album is another múst-have... A stunning 2cd-version is out on the TXT-label, and available @ Steve Brand (U.S.) & @ TXT and databloem.com (Europe/U.K.) !! Favorite track: The Voice From Home 2017.

NOTES .:.
I had been a fan of Ishq (and Matt’s various other musical personas) for some time before creating Spiritual Science. I found the sounds and the spirit of his music to be kindred to my own, but of course entirely unique to Matt’s own convictions and sources of creative inspiration. I also felt, and feel, that the music of Ishq stands out as fearlessly luminous and transcendent among much of the electronic music being made today. At the time of the original recordings, Matt had made a number of stems available on his website, which I quickly pulled down to make initial tracks. After hearing the resulting music, I was inspired to ask Matt if he’d be interested in contributing some unique sounds for a collaboration, and surprisingly he quickly responded and I soon received a disk-full in the mail. The basic result is what you hear today, with small changes being made over time to e.q., compression, lengthening atmospheres, etc. Probably the the most significant changes were replacing Matt’s beats with my own on Flame Of Nuit, and the of lengthening the beautiful drift of Voice From Home and the removal of the spoken word in the mid-section. Never the less, what you hear is, in my opinion, a true union of two artists sensibilities and creativity, whom at the time, shared much in common.

THANKS .:.
Jill, Nadja, Miette, Matt, Todd, Geoff, Lee and Nick.

The piece builds slowly. Higher and lower frequencies harmonize well together. Musical themes start and end in a way that is different from his earlier works. silverweez

Serene ambient music that evokes guided meditation through the use of phase-shifting melodies, droning bass, and gauzy synth textures. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 8, 2024

Hypnotic ambient and drone music crests in the second track, which clocks in at a whopping 46 minutes. Mesmerizing from start to finish. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 25, 2023
