Christopher Willits — Horizon

1 min read

This record by
Christopher Willits was released on Ghostly International, where he was
recording since 2006. I got to know the music of Christopher when I stumbled
upon his video Comet, produced for the first track of this album. This video
opened my eyes to the beauty and depths of the surrounding world, created by
the music of Christopher.

Weak strokes of brush
started in Comet become more distinct in the track Return, which reminds me of
walking valleys and hovering birds calling from above. Each string of grass,
drop of dew, each pebble and grain of soil is reflected in the sound pallet of
this track. The main mood of this album is profound and reserved ambient. If
you get tired of the city noise, concrete jungle and busy highways Horizon will
take out to the nature. In fact the nature always lives inside 
us and we should
never forget about it.

Rising is a perfect
reminder of our bounds with the nature. Sub our consciousness, it paints the
slow sun, clouds, distant seething rivers crossing our landscape in the morning
hour.
Such
a refreshing feeling!
The play Simplicity has surprising and distinct melodic
sounds, twisting into an organic sound sculpture. This track completely relaxes
you before passing its energy to you.

Horizon ends with a track with a concise and minimalistic
name Two, where the landscape painted previously falls still with the setting
sun. The trip is over, we leave our dream with the final sounds of the track
which is final point in new of the book of Christopher Willits’ art.
