Off Land (aka Tim Dwyer) maintains an inner self worth expressing. Showing us a world of elsewhere his three track EP Savor (35:06) conjures a terrain of shifting space and depth. Placing the listener both in the moment and suspended entirely outside of it results in a deepening of the present - that instant between our infinite past and hurrying future. In a luxuriant fullness of texture the music feels forthright and energized, as a spacious, timeless aural undertow of electronic timbres and tones conjures a surreal sonic realm. Further inside this shapeless midnight a primitive beauty emerges. When a delicate sequencer interlude disengages the mind, cloudy drones drift and dive in reflective transcendence - as we wander through Savor like a visitor to someone else's dream. What may seem like mere moments in Spacemusic, come across as a lifetime in the common realm. If works such as Savor confirm the presence of an unseen magic around us, a force radiating the hopes, beliefs and desires of humanity, then the channelling of this power could begin the world anew...
