To embark upon this listening experience is to travel down an illuminated path beyond all stylistic bounds.įor over a decade, ill-esha has been an integral part of the North American electronic scene. In evan’s words, “love songs to the source is an audio exploration of the spark of divine light that oscillates in the heart of every being”, and with this intent, one finds music that is both uplifting and devotional as it passes seamlessly through a lush digital expanse of infinite expression. rounded out with a distinguished selection of instrumentals, this innovative, genre-bending chapter in the evolving bluetech chronicles is ripe with emotive vistas, reflective passages and all the evocative depth that one has come to expect of this highly talented us based producer.

Sunlight begets all life on our planet, and is our source of light and warmth. ~ Our planet rides along the grooves of the sun’s distortions. Earth’s mere existence creates a distortion in the geometry of this fabric. ~ Our reality is built upon the fundamental fabric of space-time, which itself is not concrete, but flows, warps, and wobbles in a dance with the masses of our Universe. It lives through these with vehemence, and vulnerability both polarities are expressed in this track. ~ The title track is a convergence of our planet’s elemental emotions: its nurturing soil, mournful winds, cleansing rain, and eruptions of fire. Likewise, we are able to manifest these dreams into waking life and orchestrate our own soundtrack. “Dewdrop” is a nod to a song by Cocteau Twins, whose music reverberates through the depths of my own dreams, and whose ethereal influence is felt subtly throughout this body of work. ~ The dream state is a part of consciousness in which we can experience emotion, often without limitations imposed by logic. Its creatures are driven by instinct and are fueled by palpable, deep-rooted feeling. Placed next to “planet” in the title of this work, it exemplifies our Earth’s tendency to act intuitively and express its innermost fire. The word “visceral” references deep emotion and intuition, in contrast to logic or reason.
These are some of his most emotional works, focusing more on the flow of tension and release rather than on technicality or pure experimentation.
