about

Joseph Quimby Jr is a composer and sound artist based in Glasgow, Scotland. ‘Variation’ deals with themes of memory, loss, isolation, and place, mixing electronics with modern classical elements. It’s a deeply thoughtful work, radiating a shimmering beauty. ‘Variation’ exudes a stately melancholy, entwined with a graceful sense of acceptance and eventual comfort.

‘Variation’ was composed as part of a larger film work which focuses on Quimby’s childhood. In the early 90’s Quimby lived on the U.S. Naval Base Keflavik in Iceland, and the sense of place is clearly heard in the record. Sweeping barren landscapes, interminable snows and the artificiality of normal life on the base all find voice on ‘Variation’.

Through The Archway Of Mouths
by øjeRum

supported by 9 fans who also own “Variation”

...Like a forgotten spirit sweeping through an old hall, In The Fever Sun chills the soul and sets the tone for what the rest of the album is about to build upon: a thoroughly encapsulating sense of mental suspension.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣The uncanny chatter of Iuna Niva's vocals, while arresting in affect, nevertheless avoid becoming a distraction from the pervading quiet awe of each piece. Instead, they act more as a faint yet distantly relatable supporting layer. Full review here: http://bit.ly/32bNrpr Ambientologist

Custodi
by Carlo Giustini

supported by 9 fans who also own “Variation”

Take the shimmering guitars of the Cocteau Twins, dilate and lengthen with the wistfulness of Boards of Canada and release them like one of Robert Rich’s haunting soundscapes with a jazz coda and you have Carlo Giustini's 'Custodi'. It's brilliant. sepulchre19
