Steve Von Till feierte vor kurzem ein Doppelrelease und veröffentlichte sein Ambient-Album „A Deep Voiceless Wilderness“ sowie das Spoken Word-Album „Harvestman: 23 Untitled Poems“
Steve Von Till’s latest offering in this new chapter of his solo work arrives today with the release of„ A Deep Voiceless Wilderness“, his first ambient music release, achingly beautiful and with neo-classical learnings. The album is a hallucinatory and elegant rumination on our disconnect from the natural world, each other, and ultimately ourselves. Also arriving today is „Harvestman: 23 Untitled Poems“, a spoken word release with a difference, delivering an intimate and captivating reading of the collection with sound enhancements.
For some listeners, „ A Deep Voiceless Wilderness“ may recall the work of modern composers like Jóhann Jóhannsson, Brian Eno or Gavin Bryars. For Von Till, it’s about surrendering to the spirit of place—and to the original intent behind his 2020 solo album, „No Wilderness Deep Enough“. That album marked a significant first for Von Till: It was his first solo record without a guitar in hand. Instead, Von Till intoned powerful and thought-provoking lyrics over piano, cello, mellotron and analog synthesizers. „ A Deep Voiceless Wilderness“ is that same album without Von Till’s words.
“This is how I originally heard this piece of music,” he says. “Without the voice as an anchor or earthbound narrative, these pieces have a broader wingspan. They become something else entirely and unfold in a more expansive way. The depth of the synths, juxtaposed with the strings and French horn, have space to develop and allow the listener to imagine their own story.”
