On RUNE, renowned composer and
instrumentalist David Helpling delivers another album of pure ambient
electric guitar performances. Building on the sound of 2017's A SEA
WITHOUT MEMORY, RUNE represents the stunning evolution of Helpling's
ambient guitar explorations into a new realm of craft and production,
shifting to a deeper focus on composition, phrasing, melody, and
emotion. Shimmering textures, purposeful phrases, and expressive
arrangements mingle together and flow freely from a wellspring of
inspiration into a sea of beauty, resulting in what may very well be
Helpling's most colorful and textural recording to date.
The
music of RUNE is directly influenced by the waters of the ocean and the
Norse Rune Laguz that speaks of deep wisdom and respect for the sea,
representing the universal ocean and the collective memory of all life.
The album is inspired by the creative, destructive, and life-sustaining
forces of water as depicted in the spiritual wisdom and poetry of this
ancient Norse rune, and while creating the music, Helpling immersed
himself in this monumental idea of an all-encompassing ocean.
David
has an illustrious history of creating lush synth-laden music, but on
RUNE he has turned to only guitars and a custom rig to directly and
honestly explore a new level of ambient expression, and while the
recognizable sound of Helpling's classic whirlpooling guitar still
swirls at the heart of RUNE, most listeners will forget that the entire
album was created without the use of keyboards, synthesizers or
computer-based sound generators once they are submerged in the lush
organic soundscapes. The layers of detail, order, and space create an
immersive, honest and meaningful music that results in so much more than
just another ambient guitar offering. The compositions - emotional and
cinematic in scale - stand on their own, rewarding the listener with
music, melody, a powerful sound, and heartfelt performance that is truly
wondrous and magical.
