Panoptique Electrical - Decades (2001-2021) (Black 2LP Vinyl)

Panoptique Electrical - Decades (2001-2021) (Black 2LP Vinyl)

Panoptique Electrical’s eighth full-length double vinyl album, spans 20 years of compositions by Jason Sweeney over 70 minutes and 31 tracks. Starting in 2001, with pieces made from lo-fi synth drones, sampled loops and broken pianos, taking us through to more recent works featuring layered atmospheric strings, processed piano, field recordings, cinematic cello performed by frequent collaborator Zoë Barry and cut-up vocal pieces performed by Caroline Daish, Decades (2001-2021) perfectly blends melancholic ambient music, dark drone, modern classical composition, experimental electronics and evocative soundscapes. Exquisitely mastered by Room40’s Lawrence English, Decades (2001-2021) is an epic, but personal, record that takes us into the emotional landscape of Sweeney’s compositional world.
