Goldmund — Ambient and electronica music blog and mixes — A STRANGELY ISOLATED PLACE

We welcome Keith Kenniff back to the isolatedmix series under his post-classical moniker, Goldmund. 

A master of many styles of ambient and instrumental music, be it textured ethereal daydreams as Helios, shoegaze inspired ambient alongside his wife, Hollie, or his more instrumental, post-classical side as Goldmund, Keith’s output is somehow always outdoing his last note. As a result he has grown a significant following and appreciation over the years, me included.  

It’s the latter of those three guises that we find ourselves being presented with another beautiful album of late, titled ‘Occasus’. Released earlier this month, the album is another fine collection of minimal piano pieces. Staying close to some of his more melodic and infamous productions as Helios, boasting a grainy texture and more analog stylings throughout, Occasus presents numerous uplifting moments – a collection of short stories if you will, amid layers of dusty keys.
