Stephan Mathieu - Before Nostromo
Review by Merlene Fawdry
Before Nostromo by Stephan Mathieu is a captivating album that is sure to leave a lasting impression on any music lover. The album features a unique blend of ambient sounds, experimental electronic music, and classical instrumentation, creating a sound that is both otherworldly and deeply emotional.
Mathieu's use of field recordings and found sounds adds a layer of texture and depth to the music, immersing the listener in a world that is both familiar and alien. The album's opening track, "A Static Place III," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its haunting melodies and ethereal soundscapes.
Throughout the album, Mathieu's use of space and silence is particularly effective, allowing the listener to fully appreciate the intricate details of each composition. The album's title track, "Before Nostromo," is a standout piece that showcases Mathieu's ability to create a sense of tension and anticipation through his use of sound.
