Slowly Rolling Camera: Flow
By
Slowly Rolling Camera
band / ensemble / orchestrab.2013
Rather than consisting of composed pieces, Flow was developed to accompany a short movie entitled River of Mirrors ("a kayak film unlike any other"), and so it was patiently grown to fill a particular space. These tracks tend to start around deceptively simple motifs and then rise and fall with the aplomb of nature itself.

trumpetFlow keeps the group's trademark sweeping scope, albeit at a more intimate scale than before, gradually building its quiet drama into the pieces' own structures with an expert use of soft and loud. "River View" sets a dreamy vista, "Mist" turns things soft and ghostly and, by the late pairing of "Flow" and "Elevated," they have swelled to a buoyant peak which feels like the sound of summer itself. It is a beautifully immersive experience to soak in through every smooth shift and turn. ">
