Fang,forrest - The Fata Morgana Dream - Music CD

Over thecourse of seventeen solo albums and three plus decades, Bay-area ambient/electronicmusician Forrest Fang has become known for hissurrealist blend ofelectronically-transformed ethnic instruments and minimalistaural environments.Combining gently layered drones, slow-moving piano themes, violin, as well assubtle Eastern string, wind, and percussive elements, Fang's pieces reflect his uniquely personal universe of influences, mysterious objects and undefined phenomena.A 'FataMorgana' is a special form of mirage that makes objects appear to float inair.On Fang's latest Projekt album,"The Fata Morgana Dream," the dream takes the form of a liquid world of complexsonic images explored via heavily-processedinstruments and expansive ambiences. "Forthis album," Fang reflects, "I created a series of atmospheric pieces that areconnected by a nocturnal and free-floating spirit that allows differentinstruments,treatmentsand effects to interact in a malleable space.The overallmood comes from somewhere betweensleep and wakefulness, where the familiar might reappear in an unfamiliar waybecause of the dreamlike state."
