An unexpectedly provocative organic ambiance emerged this August, the heavy atmospheric reverberation of guitar tones, not evolving nor gathering momentum, but simply meandering through a space, to recreate the essence or feeling of a setting sun.
UK musician and composer Neil Paterson gets the tone and intensity just right, balancing weight and softness with intrigue, mystique, and expressive guitar playing, for Autumn Sun.
A semi-retired NHS doctor, Neil’s passion drives the creativity of his sound, and Autumn Sun perfectly encapsulates that freedom and escapism.
The soundscape is both piercing and soothing, a sonic implosion but quietly whispered – a series of juxtaposed intentions, aptly capturing a sort of calm intertwined with incoming excitement and possibility.
It’s a strangely enthralling moment of stillness, or an expressive dance, in the space in between then and now, and it’s fascinating to let ring out at volume. An impressive and playful ode to the power of electric guitar play. I look forward to exploring the rest of Neil’s catalogue.
