in 2009, boston-area artist reuben son unleashed one of the year's best debuts on his own private chronology label. he followed it up with another gem that showed an entirely different side of his artist vision, foregoing his excellent acoustic guitar compositions for an expert exercise in tape mangled crunch. well, for delivery #3, son moves into another zone once again.
built around his ms2000, "cortical migrations" is the perfect antidote to a busy mind. opening with chiming field recordings, the tape dives in deep quite fast. the feeling of floating underwater, completely lost comes to the forefront as you drift along into the next transition and find total release. son is deft in his ability to weave simple passages into complex imagery. looping, bubbling synthesizer passages find new life in his hands. it is music to lose yourself in, for shutting off your brain and burying your thoughts inside a cloud of sonic bliss. edition of 125.
