(Digitalis, 2011)
The Drawing of the Line is simple, like drawing a line; though, as it is for me, an effortlessly beautiful line isn't so easy to accomplish. Drawing one. And what seems simple, Emuul baby-stepping a low grade incline, a mountain ridge, curtained with fizzling grains of earth-wobbling feedback, is actually quite a feat: not overly constructed/layered but never dulling and absent. Making something akin to what I imagine it sounds like when mountains speak to one another, sped up 10,000X. It's a beautiful language and Emuul produces wonderful conversations: a motherly mountain training her son, counseling erosion, rock-slide, volcano. There are a lot of drone-based records out there trying to strike a perfect balance between minimalist composition and voluble maximalism. Few of them strike so closely as Emuul has here.
