Darker by Light
Soleilmoon
As cofounder of Zoviet France, Robin Storey drove ambient noise into new territories; as Rapoon, Storey continues a tradition of making abstract, investigative sounds. From harsh industrial beats to faint murmurs of cadence, percussion fills Darker by Light. The first track�s synthesized arhythmic pulse is unsettling even while it tries to soothe. The rest of the release exudes similar impressions of displacements and distended time, a challenge fully met by disc�s end. While too acerbic to fulfill most definitions of ambient music, Rapoon creates fields of intangible solace within its pulsating machinations.
