Andrew Chalk · Dioramas

Label: An'Archives / Genre: Ambient · Contemporain · Drone

On Andrew Chalk’s new album for An’archives, Dioramas, he returns to the art of the miniaturist, after the long-form exploration of 2024’s Songs Of The Sea. It’s an appropriate mode of address given the title – each of these fifteen pieces indeed feels like a replica of a specific scene, rendered in miniature. As with much of Chalk’s music, they set out to explore humble terrain, a thread of melody in slow motion, or a weave of texture, sometimes in aquatic repose, moving like slow tides.
