An interesting composer of neo-classical and minimal electronic music.

Ryan Teague - Field Drawings (Village Green, February 20, 2012)
I wasn't familiar with Ryan Teague, and it's interesting that I listened to him for the first time during the same days as the release of Nils Frahm's latest album, with whom he likely shares similar attitudes. The album in question is titled "Field Drawings" and was released in 2012 on Village Green. Composed, performed, and produced entirely by the multi-instrumentalist from Bristol (UK), "Field Drawings" is an album of compositions that fall within the neo-classical genre, primarily composed for piano and featuring the use of minimal electronic instrumentation, as well as the typical utilization of strings, which play a central role in some pieces within the grand scheme: "Cadastral Survey," "Games for Two," "Cell Cycle," "Anesidora," "Tetrametry"... Teague's approach is clearly cinematic and visual; his compositions serve as an ideal soundtrack, characterized by solemn yet minimal tones that are almost emotionally glacial, cold, as if they were calibrated and definitively calculated within a three-dimensional schematic dimension, where the notes bounce and oscillate as if programmed within a prism rotating in the empty space. Evocative and simultaneously beautiful.
