Background/Info:
Jason J. Snell got some
recognition for his involvement with Bombardier, The 13th
Hour and a
few more projects. He’s now mainly busy under the moniker The Space Where She
Was. He joined hands together with ant-Zen to release his first official work.
Content:
“How To Play Dead” moves
in between pure dark-ambient music and a dark-cinematographic creation. The
tracks have been meticulously built up and accomplished with fine sound
treatments. The tracks are obscure and yet there’s something prosper emerging
from the composition. The last cut also is the most elaborated one bringing
this work to an ultimate point of satisfaction and sonic lust.
+ + + :
Jason J. Snell has found
the right match between dark-ambient and cinematographic music. Both styles are
related and yet a bit different. This album brings them together in a fine
sonic osmosis. I especially like the overwhelming passages. Both last cuts are
the most noticeable pieces; you here can enjoy the detailed writing from this
artist.
– – – :
Even if I enjoyed this
album I think there’s more inside than what came out. I’m missing an ultimate
sonic ecstasy to speak about a fully successful work.
Conclusion:
This work is a beautiful
voyage throughout dark sonic paths and a fascinating introduction to the music
universe of this artist. I’m really wondering what the next work will sound
like.
Best songs:
“The Reasons Why”, “Your
Image Burned On A Screen”, “Your Shattered Outline”.
