"As a producer and mixer, Scott Solter has worked with Superchunk, Okkervil River, the Mountain Goats, Pattern Is Movement, and the Court and Spark. One River is a re-release of an ambient album he made in 2005. Ambient music is by nature intangible, meant to evoke sensations and feelings rather than the structure and explicitness of most music. I started listening to One River after visiting the Rothko Chapel in Houston, and I immediately saw the connection between Rothko's monochromatic paintings and Solter's washes of sound. Neither [...]
"Scott Solter, one half of Boxharp and prolific recording engineer, producer, mixer, re-mixer and musician, reissues his 2005 album 'One River'. It has aspects of what is con temporarily described as glacial ambient, in that it is built from monolithic drone scapes that move slowly and invoke qualities of sparse almost barren climes. As a piece it comprises guitar processed to bare recognition, tape, cymbals, field recordings and manipulated voice, although it's production qualities are so heavily present that the main instrument would have to be considered as the recording studio. Solter's [...]

' The Great Cold ', by US producer Scott Solter , is taken from the re-release of his glacial ambient masterpiece One River . Chilly, gaseous tones swell and recede, all the while shadowed by a ghostly high note. Solter creates an unforgettable atmosphere, which becomes all the more moving when experienced as part of the complete album. The track is accompanied by Mark Solter and Laura Solter's immersive, impressionistic video, in which burnished forms simultaneously suggest the vast expanses of space and the intricate textures of cellular surfaces. "a mixture of heavily processed [...]

Excerpt: "Sublime cut from last year's great Dislocatia album. A rushing, tacked piano opens like silent film accompaniment, then a ghost story with a spectral female backing vocal (Wendy Allen of labelmates Boxharp) carries the plot, finishing with a flourish of violins, riding above a children's choir coda. One of many compelling mini-symphonies on Singer's current, classy album." The Underground of Happiness

Featuring the angelic backing vocals of Boxharp 's Wendy Allen and a children's choir, the song's piano line canters along while Liam's tremulous vocals dance with an aching violin. By the time [...]
