Regolith | ‘And…’ | Running on Air | 2012
Graeme Ross y David Graham, residentes de Londres, formaron Regolith en 2005 y desde entonces tienen seis discos y dos colaboraciones. Ambos tienen sus propios proyectos en grupos y en solitario.
La música de Regolith es una amalgama de electrónica experimental y elementos minimalistas de la música neoclásica. El resultado que bien podría ser abstracto es esencialmente melódico. Aunque por cierto hay glitches, clicks y repetición de sonidos.
Cada uno de los temas representa paisajes sonoros que evocan distintas imágenes. ‘In Darkness and Distance’ es un soundtrack de una película oscura, ‘Another Orphan’ en tanto nos invita a viajar en un ambiente calmo y ‘A Thousand Crashing Cars’ es un viaje a los corredores cósmicos de los ’70.
‘Runs’ es ruidoso e inquietante, desde sonidos mecánicos a aquellos más ondulantes.
‘The Way Out’, que cierra este disco, podría ser la música épica para una obra artística con esas bellas campanas que le dan matiz solemne y al mismo tiempo los instrumentos acústicos generan cercanía y añoranza. Todo ello intervenido con envolventes ruidos.
La música de Regolith es extremadamente nostálgica y bella.

Graeme Ross and David Graham Regolith are based in London and formed Regolith in 2005 and since then they have six releases and two collaborations. Both Ross and Graham have their own solo and band projects.
Regolith’s music is an amalgam of experimental electronic and minimalist elements of neoclassical music. The result may well be abstract but is essentially melodic. Although there are some glitches, clicks and repetition of sounds.
Each of the tracks represents soundscapes that conjure up different images. ‘In Darkness and Distance’ is a soundtrack of a dark film, ‘Another Orphan’ invites us to a calm trip and ‘A Thousand Crashing Cars’ is a journey into the cosmic corridors of the ’70s.
‘Runs’ is noisy and disturbing from the mechanical to those more undulating sounds.
‘The Way Out’, which closes the album, could be the epic music for a piece of art with these beautiful bells that give a solemn nuance, while the acoustic instruments create proximity and nostalgia. All this intervened with surround sound.
Regolith’s music is extremely nostalgic and beautiful.
