As Panoptique Electrical, Jason Sweeney has been crafting subtle, evocative ambient pieces for film soundtracks, theatrical scores, installations and the likes for upwards of a decade. While these commissions – assembled on last year’s Let the Darkness at You – were more reserved furnishings, evocative backgrounds for other’s art, this first track from the soon to be released Yes to Fear, Yes to Desire is bolder, more concise and directly evocative.
Much of the album, however, continues Sweeney’s singular incursions into stretching, nocturnal atmospherics. ‘Hyvönen’ is simply a dilation of this template. Its haunting cyclical piano and delicate acoustic/electric waves sweeping you across a craggy coastline at night, shafts of moon and starlight taking form and coalescing ‘til everything is as bright as day.
