With his health problems now behind him, Alex Henry Foster is back to his former productivity as he announces the release of his new album A Measure Of Shape And Sounds on September 20th. Now more ambient than post rock, the Canadian signs an intimate journey where layers of repetitive guitars, resonances, oscillations form a contemplative work. Alchemical Connection, the first excerpt, can be listened to below.
About this piece, Alex Henry Foster explains: ‘it is the contemplative portrait of a blooming dawn I had the mesmerizing privilege of witnessing in the dead cold of winter, through the Virginian mountain horizon where I live. I was fascinated by the slow awakening of colors growing into one another, evolving into a stream, and redefining impermanent beauties. It reminded me of the bright shining lights dancing over the ocean of crystal pieces covering the awakening morning in the middle of the desert, where silence murmurs about inner peace and where wind carries the nature of what it feels like to be truly alive. This song evokes those profound sensations.’
