The ambient sonic journey of a solitary questing soul

Passages is the sixth album by composer Jeffrey Ericson Allen as Chronotope Project, and the second to be released through Spotted Peccary Music. Its five tracks represent various aspects of passage or transformation through the agency of a solitary questing soul, seeking unity in the midst of chaos and impenetrable mystery.

Informed by the language of archetypes and potent literary symbols, it is an extension of the composer”s evolving style of musical storytelling. Rich sonorities combine atmospherics, drones, pads and solo synths, tabla and frame drum, bells and throat singing, pulsing synthesizer sequences, breathy textures, lapping water, and the expressive, protagonistic voice of the Haken Continuum Fingerboard,a core element of Chronotope Project”s signature sound.

From expansive and effervescent ever-shifting liquid metamorphoses of sound, to brooding Middle-Eastern modal counterpoints, emotional tonalities range from calmly meditative to truly hypnotic-ecstatic sonic immersions.
