The title of Joseph Salazar’s song “Everything Is Information” is simple enough and a bare statement of fact like Boards of Canada’s “Music is Math.” It can deconstruct some of the magic of the effect of the music as well as make it attainable for anyone willing to put in the time to connect with it. Salazar’s ambient sprawl starts out quiet and builds in almost pointillist fashion an evolving and growing soundscape of evocative drones, spare melodies and hazy flares of tone reminiscent of the cosmic, late night sounds and excursions of 1980s Steve Roach. But Salazar’s song also sounds like something that should be in a modern science fiction film that goes beyond mere adventure fantasy and action into something more struck by a sense of wonder as Salazar elicits in the listening to this song. The rich tones build and converge and wash away in the flow of gentle white noise in the end as it fades into silence.
