about

Description: 'Paradise Yard' is ambient minimalist composers Darkroom's second release with Champion Version. The source material was recorded by Andrew Ostler with guest bassist Jordan Muscatello during the Champion Version Edition 1 live event, which was held Thursday, 12 October 2017 in London. These initial recordings were then reconstructed, edited and mixed by Darkroom members Andrew Ostler and Michael Bearpark with suggestions from Elif Yalvaç whose voice recordings are featured between February and June 2018. Restrained and elegant, the stature of Darkroom's innate talent emerges in their treatment of the original recordings focussing and polishing them into extraordinary clear and new forms. Faint sound experiments extend into dream-like figments, while intricate manipulations build, resonate and disperse. More abstract than much of their previous catalogue with echoes of tape minimalist compositions and cinematic sound art, 'Paradise Yard' is a remarkably enduring piece of work. Incredible indeed.

The Last Sense To Fade
by Darkroom

supported by 8 fans who also own “Paradise Yard”

Another superb release from this highly underrated unit. The duo's mastery of electronics perfectly compliments the very human elements of guitar and woodwind often found at the centre of their compelling music. This release, beautifully packaged, sits among their finest work and is sure to be appreciated by anyone with an interest in ambient, drone, electronica and the chilliest fringes of techno. Make room for the darkness! bobafett5001

The Noise Is Unrest
by Darkroom

supported by 8 fans who also own “Paradise Yard”

I love this band and the sound that they produce, but there is at times unacceptable distortion and complete overload on some of the tracks especially on Once Proud Eyes/Haumea near the end of the track. With this kind of music it's sometimes hard to distinguish if the distortion is part of the sound that is being created. I think more attention should be paid to the final mastering. Having said this Darkroom are a band of GREAT talent. coypu

The Axe Forgets But The Tree Remembers

As ever, the essence of the music is what's important -- the tones and passages evolve fluidly with an almost numbing ease. I have to say I particularly liked the bass clarinet sounds... mmm... Peter Jones
