Light Conductor
Sequence One (standard)
Light Conductor is the twilight slow-burn modular synthesis duo of Stephen Ramsay (Young Galaxy) and Jace Lasek (The Besnard Lakes). The pair have been kicking out these slow jams for years, in between their separate touring and producing duties, and have decided it's time to share. 'Sequence One' is their first album: a warm shimmering sonic hug of enveloping drone and hypnotic arpeggiation flowing along buoyant filter-sweeping eddies and waves. Gently immersive like a saltwater bath under a starry sky, Light Conductor make nighttime/sunrise music in widescreen high-fidelity at their vintage-equipped Breakglass Studios in Montréal, pinning the pre-amps with stately, slowly shifting synth tones, stereophonic squelches, and pink noises. The seasoned producer-engineers marinate their mixes in slow-cooked analogue glaze, balancing spacious sound-staging against sumptuous saturation, bringing these studio sensibilities to bear on this profoundly mellow, atmospheric and satisfying music of slow inexorability and simplicity.
