If you happen to have 256 free minutes, you should give ‘The Gauze Eyed Gaze Of Bracketed Air’ a listen. It’s nothing like anything you have come across before, we guarantee that. You see, not all music is equal. Some of it has a merely commercial purpose – some instead have more of a cathartic, artistic drive. This album belongs to the latter category, being the result of an informed creative decision.
The talented human behind ‘The Gauze Eyed Gaze Of Bracketed Air’ is Collin Thomas, American musician and producer with a keen eye for abstract soundscapes and avant-garde electronica. What unfolds in the album is exactly what one would expect: a slow-paced, minimal stream of dark piano samples, obscure sound designs and aleatory placements.
It’s not sonic vanity: Thomas seeks to translate in musical terms the experience of living and caring for someone with dementia. As he explains: “This is, at its core, what it is like to know and love someone with dementia. Repetition. Surprise. Repetition. Shock. Repetition. Fatigue. Endless repetition.”
