Exquisite! Somehow it makes me feel like many years ago, when I was listening to Andreas Wolleveider's works. But this one goes beyond.
Nice work indeed.
Favorite track: Ariadne’s Thread (remix).

Kaleidoscope, the 7th release from Chronotope Project on the Spotted Peccary Music label, traces over four decades of composer Jeffrey Ericson Allen’s musical life, each offering a window into a different stage of his creative evolution, inspiring views of the themes and tones of this latest project. Composed as sonic autobiography of Allen’s creative journey, Kaleidoscope spans a wide range of musical styles—meditative ambient art music, impressionist jazz, nouveau-raga, classical and post-classical minimalism.
Musically, Kaleidoscope blurs the line between genre definitions, coaxing the acoustic toward the electronic, the electronic toward the organic. Opener “Ariadne’s Thread” weaves acoustic guitar and flute into a playful harmony, their bright duet a hymn to the joy of creation. “Medicine Wheel” shows Allen’s ambient mastery, as windswept synthesizer textures wend between traditional hand drums. “Longing,” is a black-and-white film score, a stunning orchestral lament, the blade of what could have been bowed across cello and violin. This is music that reveals itself slowly, like light unfolding through layers of mist. Each piece is an invitation—to listen again, to listen differently, to explore somewhat familiar sonic terrain in a very unfamiliar way. To unleash imagination.
A kaleidoscope forms beads and bits of glass into endless combinations of mandalic patterns. Each piece in this album does the same—as motifs recur and recombine into sterling fractals of sound, similar but never the same, a captivating journey that yields new destinations with each listen, and a shimmering ode to the creative process that Chronotope Project profoundly inhabits.

Hollan's music takes me to the sacred places within...places that can only be reached by riding waves of joyous arps and flowing atmospheres...places I may not know otherwise. Thank you Hollan!
