Deaf Center- Pale Ravine



















Artist: Deaf Center
Album: Pale Ravine (purchase)
Year Released: 2005
Country: Norway
Label: Type Records
Genre(s): ambient, noise

Last year, while searching for a more interesting ambient/noise project, I stumbled upon Norway's very own Deaf Center. Pale Ravine has just about everything you could want in an ambient release: the minimalist piano work, the layered keyboards, the atmospheric nature/percussion sounds- and even better, these aspects exceed the quality of a lot of other ambient projects. Halfway between the abstractions of Lotus Eaters and the melodic, calculated works of Eluvium, Deaf Center displays uniqueness in a style many artists are afraid to experiment with.
