Amidst an elaborate staging, Ryan Masteller offers this:<\/p>\n

\nTransition is an album that lives up to its name, a drifting, evolutionary signpost marking the passage of time. As befits a Dinzu release, field recordings are processed through effects and electronics, the sounds taking on entirely new identities as they\u2019re filtered through Gomberg\u2019s vision of glacial motion. The tracks are untitled, marked only by the amount of time they fill. And fill they do, as you must pay careful attention to the compositions, allowing them to consume your focus so that you don\u2019t miss a single detail. You could call them drones, but that would be selling them short \u2013 there\u2019s distinctive movement in the works, distinctive tones, unearthed emotional stimuli whose raw receptors remind you of events in your life that you\u2019d forgotten. Wisps of memory once again become tactile. You remember who you once were.<\/p>\n
