For as much as I love ambient music, it can be a bit of a one-trick pony. Baltimore’s Soul Glimpse, the ambient face of Austyn Sullivan, takes what could have been well done but fairly standard ambient fare and pumps it up a bit. Typically, this type of music sets a mood for me, then leaves me alone to explore wherever my mind may take me. Rarely does ambient music effectively convey a strong passion or emotion, but Soul Glimpse does just that. The vocals become another instrument in the mix, blending seamlessly with the music and pushing these songs [...]

Austyn Sullivan ist das selbstbetitelte Ambient-Projekt des erst 20jährigen US-Amerikaners aus Baltimore, Maryland. Seine Musik ist eine Welle aus Melodien und unverständlichen, fast dahin gemurmelten Vocals, die Emotionen schaffen, Gedanken treiben lassen. Sullivan arbeitet derzeit an einem kompletten Album mit dem Titel Recollections Become Phantoms . Wer mag, sollte unbedingt in die 5track EP Recollections / Become auf Bandcamp reinhören, sowie in die vielen weiteren schon etwas älteren Releases . mp3 :: Austyn Sullivan - " A Waltz (To Wonder) " Austyn Sullivan - [...]
Austyn Sullivan // Recollections/Become What beautiful noise this dude can make. Austyn Sullivan , being no stranger to this blog, has wowed me once again with his ability to manipulate what at first might seem like a cacophony of fuzzy noise into these short bursts of dream like drone. It’s as if he molding the noise with his bare hands, sculpting it until his creation is complete. If you listen closely, buried underneath all of the static and the reverb lie beautiful melodies. They are there if you are willing [...]

Austyn Sullivan - Auras: An Incomplete Colony The vast amount of music that Brooklyn via New Orleans Austyn Sullivan has on his bandcamp page can be overwhelming, but worth all your time. I started at the top and made my way down. His 2010 self-released album Nature's Veins is stark with atmospherical textures, hazy faded vocals [...]
Austyn Sullivan // The Inner Demons Swell Drone is a tricky genre. It’s built around noise. Lengthy, drawn-out noise. Anyone can distort synths and feedback on their guitar for an hour into a tape and call it drone. But to have good drone, that’s a horse of a different color. There has to be something there, some gravitational element that pulls the listener in and keeps them plugged into the haze. Some of my favorite drone artists have that pull on me and I can listen to them for hours: Sun [...]
Was listening to some of the stuff that i got on my email and found this rather funny name. Portraits of American Firing Squads has a really odd name and i thought it was literally pics of firing squads, that would give a nice post for sure, but no, Family in the Armed Forces is the drone/ambient/experimental project of Brooklyn based Austyn Sullivan. Best drones i heard in along time and as a reference the best way to explain it is going back to awesome drone project from New Orleans "Belong", same sort of vibe, its like swimming all the [...]
The World Moves / First Day Gone by Austyn Sullivan Every now and again, someone sends me music from a band or artist that I hadn't previously heard of which makes me say “wow” but when I go online to look for details on the band, there is essentially nothing. The first of these bands was Castevet and the latest is Austyn Sullivan. The only information that I can find online on Austyn Sullivan is that he is apparently from New Orleans: [...]
