Meierkord’s Time Loops

A new Henrik Meierkord release is always welcome. He has mastered the technologically mediated cello, striving for and achieving a steady, layered tonality that underlines the moment without overwhelming it. “Drones with my beloved cello and pedal” is his simple description of this new set, When time becomes a loop, yet from such a simple combination vast spaces and rich harmonies are made. Overdubbing and reverb and granular effects have become common elements in music-making, but it still takes a considered approach to sustain such a thing, and all the more so to explore new aspects of ambient textures. Meierkord, as always, delivers.
