They Say...
Saunter is one of the most accessible releases in the catalog of Australian experimental ambient label Room40. It consists of delicate guitar and computer drones plus occasional field recordings arranged to form peaceful aural landscapes that verge on new age music. The pieces are monochromatic, floating (like fog) instead of developing or moving, inhabiting the listening space with their shimmering tones. It could sound almost too easy if it weren't for the obvious care with which these tracks have been composed: the understated gorgeousness of "The Room in Past," the spatialization and play between brief sounds (backward guitar) and long synth washes of "Landscape on a Hill." The music here has strong affinities with that of Lawrence English, especially his season-related releases (For Varying Degrees of Winter, A Colour for Autumn). It's not music that will move you, but it radiates quiet (and slightly cold) beauty.
