The second Hesius Dome CD has finally emerged from the studio after an extensive incubation period. With its eight tracks that run from brief glimpses to deep exploration, Farewell Waltz marks a further maturation of the idiosyncratic signature style of Simon Polinski aka Hesius Dome.
With this new offering, ambient adventurer Polinski welcomes listeners into allegories of linear melody and journeys into image-laden musical landscapes. Throughout the variations of Farewell Waltz, the ethereal intermingles with thick, rippling beats, often punctuated by drifting voices. Like a soundtrack to a yet-to-be-made film, unrealised themes are evoked and flicker in the imagination.
Music to see things by.
Artist Info:

here a recent review of Hesius Dome - Farewell Waltz CD
Though it received scant recognition at the time, Hesius Dome's 2002 debut The Age of Steam was a gorgeous and puzzling mix of lush gentle ambient music, subdued electronica and oddly enough stadium rock. Spread across two discs it was clearly the work of highly skilled studio technicians, expertly honed, tightly crafted sounds that were then and still are totally out of step of today' prevailing musical currents (which is a great thing). Now a solo project of renowned studio engineer and producer Simon Polinski, one half of chilled out duo Ornament, in the intervening three years, whilst retaining the ingredients of the original, Polinski has crafted denser more integrated musical world. Hesius Dome is not afraid to eschew beats and work within dreamy reverb soaked guitars and fleeting gusts of atmosphere. There is a strong highly glossed ambient feel on Farewell Waltz, and it's this gloss combined with Polinski's patient pacing, and compositional care that gives the album a film soundtrack feel. Whilst Polinski receives contributions from the likes of Melbient, Joe Creighton and Eiji providing e-bow guitar, ultimately Farewell Waltz is about his subtle progressions, about his ability to craft a gentle evocative mood and the desire to produce an epic piece of music like the album highlight, the incredibly twenty-nine minute plus journey that is Faceless Angel. Beginning with almost steam train atmospheres and scattery electrics it quickly develops into a repetitive trance like groove that remains locked in as the various elements of ethereal atmospheres wash in and out and the percussion increases in density. Simultaneously contemplative and energetic it is a work that exemplifies Polinski's interest in the ambient, the atmospheric, the ethereal and gentle creeping highly evocative soundscapes.
