El minimalismo ambient-drone de “Points Of Inaccessibility”, del compositor norteamericano Rafael Anton Irisarri ( @blackknoll.bsky.social ), discurre entre Gavin Bryars y Third Eye Foundation, a veces con atmósferas granuladas que remiten a Fennesz.

Gracias @rockdelux.bsky.social ! 🙏🖤
"Irisarri continues to push ambient music into spaces that feel emotionally urgent and structurally daring."

"each track feels monumental in scale, sweeping, monolithically, across our eye-line in slow motion. Like a wall of sound built from orchestral drones... a powerful and cathartic listen"
