about

Dragon’s Eye Recordings is pleased to present our first release by Swedish composer Tobias Hellkvist. Drone can mean so many things, but the tranquil sounds of Hellkvist are a special breed. His specialty: sonorous melodies that stretch ever so slowly into a gentle river of sound, like the peal of a bell that echoes indefinitely. Tobias has worked with a lot of different colors and timbres over the years, building layers of sound and tearing them down, but 'Pause' finds him mining his archives, resurrecting a more minimalist work from nearly 10 years ago and breathing new life into it.

Kind of ambient, I suppose, but different from the run of the mill in an innovative sort of way. Very atmospheric, in places mesmerizing. polinos
