Inspired by the Great Lakes of North America and the “psychotropic and interstellar activity surrounding them,” Shorelights limn a sferic soundsphere glowing with a gently decaying/departing but phosphorescent energy. Rod Modell’s celebrated, organically natural sound design talents are clearly on display, and guided by a conceptual and spiritual guidance from Wacasz.

The piece unfurls over two sides that faithfully lend a pillowy, aerated level of tog to the listener, as orange/pink hued timbral horizons form the backdrop to the sound of shore-lapping location recordings and distant, half-heard voices that swirl across the foreground, drawing the user into a gauzy mid ground by the half-way point, where we’re beautifully reminded of BC’s ‘Radiance’ or classic Vainqueur, but fizzling away like a campfire in drizzle.
