The wash of textures and melodic strings of beeps and swirling up of bloops and the visceral sound of air bubbles all commingle in the organic flow of Kip LaVie’s “Time Enough.” It sounds like the musical equivalent of recreating the environment of a mountain bound wetlands. Electronic dulcimer casting a figure in the breeze as sculpted white noise and shiny tones blowing down from mountain peaks, the glisten off the water as arpeggiated distant notes, synth swells as the sunlight peeking through clouds. It presents an abstract analog of the inherent musicality of natural rhythms allowing the listener to take it in as a different manifestation of the experience. Often environment-oriented compositions try to create something more industrial or urban, “Time Enough” is a reminder that the field of this type of music rooted in minimal electronics is broad with possibilities.
