about

Out of the cloud-world sweeps thy awful form,
Vast frozen river, fostered by the storm
Upon the drear peak's snow-encumbered crest,
Thy sides deep grinding in the mountain's breast
As down its slopes thou plowest to the sea
To leap into thy mother's arms, and be
There cradled into nothingness…

- Charles Keeler, "To An Alaskan Glacier" (1899)

———————————————

Eldorado Omega is the dark ambient / drone project of Atlanta producer Ryan PT (aka tay0, BLACKFOX, AkuYou). This release “explores the vast reaches of the Alaskan frontier and how modernity encroaches on its beauty.” Definitely not an understatement, Out of the Cloud-World is a fascinating new exploration into the wilderness, even if a bit reserved in its approach.

“Fostered by the Storm” opens “like a room with a broken computer that’s making weird and creepy sounds” according to my 12-year-old daughter, and I couldn’t agree with her more. With over 6-minutes of tranquil humming synthesizer notes—a surreal ebb and flow leaves the listener engaged and relaxed. The unusual electrical noises and warmed-up oscillators is what stands out these tracks. “Landing on Ice” reveals extraterrestrial fields as “Cradled Into Nothingness” opens a downtempo stream of drifting beauty. “Cloud-World” emits radiant melodic notes that swirl around kaleidoscope beats and low-end flutter. An extended player that slides across a myriad of soundscapes, “Boreal” traverses harsher noise only to be offset by subtle pitter-patter blips and found-sounds that blend like a classic The Orb interlude would. And yet as Eldorado Omega extracts these ambient ice-sheets and relaxed beatwork, there’s an arch to his sonic signature that stands out like a long-lost Boards Of Canada artifact.

Although Out of the Cloud-World eases the listener into its strange sound space, there’s something uniquely compelling about this recording that I continue to visit each week—trying to piece together where I’ve been transported to and perhaps it’s the Alaskan frontier that I’ve yet to (physically) visit.
