about

PRESS

“Glacis, the alias of Euan McMeeken, has perfectly visualised the at times awkward marriage between pure instrumentation and electronic technology. (…) Alongside the piano, the mild, electronic electricity turns into something quite beautiful, like forks of lightning over an untainted, natural environment. The realisation is that technology can support instead of strike – what beautiful music they make together, coupled together in unity.” (Fluid Radio)

“Throughout the twenty-three-minute release, the piano is embedded within electronic soundscapes. (…) In its juxtaposition of acoustic piano and electronic treatments, 22.16.04 puts some degree of distance between itself and other electro-acoustic releases, which bodes well for whatever future life McMeeken has in mind for the Glacis project.” (Textura)

“Comune denominatore di tutti i brani, che scorre appena sotto la loro superficie, resta comunque il tocco lieve ed emozionale di McMeeken, artista ancora una volta capace di rendere tutt’altro che banale l’ormai consolidato accostamento tra strumenti classici ed elettronici.” (Music Won’t Save You)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Entitled ‘22.16.04’, this new E.P. by glacis explores the conflict between acoustic instruments and technology. Each piece is deliberately designed to explore this tension, which is both beautiful and desperate.

Faintly Recollected
by Ian Hawgood & Danny Norbury

supported by 9 fans who also own “22.16.04”

Let's put it this way- this is simply one of our favourite works ever!...A collection of variations on a theme that drift by, perfuming the air, or that stop a moment to whisper you a story. Evocative in its sparse beauty, We are sure this will been the permanent playlist always, right alongside Arvo Part's "Alina" and offthesky's "Silent went the Sea" ....ss/tm/am editions vaché

Short Stories - Piano Book Volume Two
by Stefano Guzzetti

supported by 9 fans who also own “22.16.04”

Another masterwork from Stefano Guzzetti. This man deserves all the accolades he receives. The package with the 4 panel cd is very nice indeed. You even get the piano sheet music. I am huge fan of Stefano Guzzettis music. Buy this. You will love it. The whole album is brilliant. I cannot pick just one track. Steve Mahoney

Through the Nightfall Grandeur
by Dahlia's Tear

Moody dark ambient from Dahlia’s Tear, the expansive sounds on “Through the Nightfall Grandeur” are as melancholy as they are unsettling. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 16, 2018

Killing Ghosts

smooth but uneasy drones overlaid with beautifully curated samples(?) and subtle noise and distortion. evokes cold and loneliness while being sonically 'real'. excellent! Giles
