I’ve listened to this a lot in the past month since grabbing it, a collaborative effort from Devin Underwood and Marcus Fischer.

It was Fischer’s name which drew me to downloading it, principally based on his Arctic/Antarctic release back in June last year on fellow netlabel Luxus Arctica Records.

Released on Distance Recordings, Correspond is a deep, warm listen.

Correspond is the first collaboration between U.S based musicians Devin Underwood and Marcus Fischer. Together they have created five beautiful pieces of delicate, free floating ambience. Followers of each artist individually will find that their styles seem to effortlessly combine as they experiment with their shared love for minimalism, field recordings, acoustic and electric instruments and natural reverb.

The tracks on Correspond are presented in the order in which they were completed, allowing the listener to trace the trajectory which the artists followed during the creative process. This release is a free download as always, but the artists also have a limited number of CD’s available. Email m AT NOSPAM mapmap.ch for info.
