Why I like this

The hook with the strings sold me on this one. They seem to wash over the song like gentle waves on an empty beach right as the tide is beginning to come in.   The vocals are soulful, and atmospheric and pretty much everything in  this track (drums/strings/vocals) live well together in the soundscape.  Not too much else to say about this two minute gem.  Take a listen and judge for yourself!

Have a good weekend.

Song of the Livid Drawn Outside The Lines of Reason by enoruoS (Sourone)


update 11/28/12:  Song of the Livid was the working title of this track, and has been renamed by the creator.

About this guy

enoruoS is where Sourone a.k.a. Michal Kalinowski dumps his "melodic, ambient, and breaky" sounds on soundcloud.  Even with the brilliantly obvious name in reverse not unlike Spacetime Continuum's album Emit Ecaps, and later Remit Recaps, it still took me a while to track down Michal's (or is it Michael's?) original profile, and eventually his facebook page.

He hails from Poland and is a producer of IDM, psychedelia, glitch electronica, experimental, ambient, micro break beats. . . . .and well you get the idea.  This is the type of music where anyone who ends up listening to a lot of his work will probably start throwing the word pioneer around when describing him and his music to others.  He does a little bit of everything, and he does it really, really well from what I've heard so far.
