The title track of Aria Rostami’s ‘Water From The River’ album kicks off in a rousing fashion with quick beats and celestial melodies, all lifting you off your feet and placing you up amongst the stars. 'Red of the Burning Wood' is a dense collage of percussive loops, fractured R&B vocals, and heavenly chords that suspend mid-air. Then, 'Gandom' offers more compelling broken beats and meticulously layered percussive sounds, watery synths, and muffled vocals that offer many different focal points.  'Esfand' on Rostami’s ‘Water From The River’ ups the energy levels further and is a hyper-speed rhythmic workout with shimmering pads and tightly interwoven layers of drums, while 'Water Returning' is an ambient interlude that allows you to catch your breath. 'Farvardin' once again takes off on fantastically intricate jungle rhythms and deft drum programming that is organic and alive, after which 'White of the Burning Forest' shuts down with another impossibly vibrant and lively mix of groove and tropical sound designs that keep you afloat amongst smeared cosmic pads.  "I think of Water from the River as a protest record to some extent but more on the level of the human experience of being caught up in forces. The larger world pushes in one direction, the ambitions of people pushing in other ways and you as a singular human caught in the tides - like water from the river carving through a boulder over time and being swept away with it towards something else." - Aria Rostami  Brooklyn-based Aria Rostami has been releasing music since 2011 and, since then, has released on esteemed labels like Dark Entries, Geographic North and Spring Theory, both solo and in collaboration with the likes of Saint Abdullah, El Joven and Daniel Blomquist. His beat-driven electronic music is often conceptual, draws on a wide range of influences and is made using predominantly hardware.

PREMIERE: Aria Rostami - Esfand [Aria Rostami]

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-aria-rostami-water-returning

Cementing their 10th release, Brooklyn-based imprint Intimate Inanimate deliver the seven-track ‘Water From The River’ EP from label head honcho Aria Rostami...Our pick from the EP is the fifth track 'Water Returning' - a blue-emerald ambient voyage in which Rostami conveys the feeling of lost thoughts, trudging relentlessly through a vast kelp forest in the abyssal waters, rustling in synergy all along the way. 'Water Returning' incorporates sub-filtered oscillations, FX-heavy frequencies and ebullient arpeggios to create an aura of healing and comfort enclosed in a soundproofed sarcophagus.

**The eighth installment in Geographic North’s long-running Sketch for Winter series, which highlights compositions intentionally crafted for the colder season.**

Unsung heroes of the ambient underground, Aria Rostami and Daniel Blomquist have quietly created some of the most aurally alluring sounds released in the past five years. And although that time has solidified the duo’s prowess of production and tenacity of texture, it has also shown its share of disruption and disorder. Having met and recorded all of their past works together in San Francisco, Sketch for Winter VIII: Floating Tone marks the first release made by the pair apart, with Rostami’s recent move to Brooklyn. But rather losing touch or stalling collaboration, the duo’s bond only grew stronger. 

Rather than perform live improvisations in the same room, Rostami and Blomquist repeatedly passed material back and forth to be altered over time - sometimes involving extensive alterations, and others barely none. The result brings an astoundingly varied mix of melody, texture, and movement. 

“The Sloping Tower” seeps into focus in a haze of pristine clatter, celestial chords, and synthetic detritus. Distant disembodied voices appear through rippling waves of melody, leaving only a tapestry of tattered sound. “The Sleeping Floor” meanders with a nocturnal melody that lulls and placates with a deft, delicate touch. A-side closer “The Guessing Hand” cultivates a seething but subtle soirée of nonchalant noir, suggesting some solemn and forgotten subterranean piano bar.

“The Running Glass” wafts in a cloud of blissful warmth, backlit with dimmed glee and neon vibrancy. “The Sinking Tone” turns the focus back to our piano, heaving in a lush and all-consuming storm of shimmering texture and noise. “The Floating Table” closes things out with utter resolve, reflecting on the receding action and dabbling in some amorphous beauty. 

It’s a powerful new chapter in Rostami and Blomquist’s journey that solidifies their past and suggests endless opportunities ahead.
