The diffuse pulses of billowing tone drifting into pink noise textures on Mike Costaney’s “J” conjures visions of what it’s like to look out across a bank of clouds from above lit by moonlight. Or to be aboard a ship drifting through a luminous bank of fog in the early morning. Its sounds have an unusual quality of being both abstractly hypnotic and soothingly intimate. It suggests the experience of a breeze flowing over you and of a dream state in which your mind feels unmoored from its corporeal bonds. Though the track comes from an album with the humorous title Ambient Music For Ambient People II, “J” sounds like the audio analog of a tranquil dream of flight. Listen to “J” as well as the rest of the album on Spotify and follow Costaney on his Soundcloud account.
