INTRODUCING an exciting new project from Los Angeles, comprising of a film composer Michael Deragon and a sound designer/composer Daniel Lea (member of L A N D with releases on Important Records). Both members of this duo are not new to the highly textured sonic models of cinematic proportions. Throw in a dynamically rich mixing of Ben Frost and the magic touch of Valgeir Sigurdsson‘s mastering, and you’ve got an album worthy of a movie night. Turn down the lights, turn up the volume, sit back and let this ride unfold. I’ve heard the full album already, which shares a title with the track I am premiering for you today, We Become Mist, but until it’s out Bedroom Community in about a month (September 10th), we’ll just survive with this short teaser. Nevertheless, it is a perfect sampling of the things to come, just like its beautifully showcased album cover – thick layers of subdued dissolving hues, merging in frequencies with time and spectral motion, some edges scattered in the rough, while others smooth to glistening perfection. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was pitched as an original film score, but I am more than grateful to absorb it as an album. It may be otherworldly or possibly from Earth, but in a way, it doesn’t matter because I’m still discovering new places previously unknown. “We Become Mist is nothing short of the progression from a souterrain awakening to the terraformed sound of a new world coming into existence.”
