“Hearing this music for the first time has a similar impact to the first exposure to Oval’s Systemisch from 1994, or the early Sähkö recordings like Ø’s Metri, in that it has a beauty partly derived from having travelled beyond the reach of human influence” – Rob Young, The WIRE

“the success in transforming the intractable modular synthesizer into an emotional, protean creature is one of Chantler’s greatest strengths”  Isaac Aronson, Foxy Digitalis

New Reviews of ‘The Luminous Ground’

Leave a comment

New review of The Luminous Ground appeared on The Silent Ballet:

“Even during the sparser pieces, the music is void of anything concrete, and there’s something quite strange about being hypnotized by an album that distances itself so adamantly from stasis and constancy. Chantler captivates the listener in a limbo of ceaseless movement, leaving them dazed and somewhat disorientated by the eternal state of change.” 7.5/10 Jack Chuter

There is also a review by Rob Young in the latest issue of THE WIRE magazine:

“Hearing this music for the first time has a similar impact to the first exposure to Oval’s Systemisch from 1994, or the early Sähkö recordings like Ø’s Metri, in that it has a beauty partly derived from having travelled beyond the reach of human influence”
