Post-rock, Ambient, Modern Classical artists review latest A Journey Down The Well EP

Oct. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- A Journey Down The Well, the band known for creating extraordinary classical music pieces, releases a new EP, “How Little Can Be The Orchestra” on Fluttery Records. The  four song EP is revealing their impulsive, unusual, minimalist approach to classical music with post-rock and ambient references.

The EP has received good reviews from other modern classical, post-rock and ambient musicians:

Gonçalo Pereira / Diamond Gloss, How Constellations Shine

"Just a few words about this recording. How Little Can Be The Orchestra is just a wonderful piece of music. Simple pleasures are the best pleasures, and this music is a simple pleasure. It´s hard to write about good music. It´s hard to write about such a good music like this. How beautiful can be a orchestra? So, just put your ears over this four songs and here is your answer. Excellent work, simply made. "

Pavel Smirnov / Mooncake

"Sweet music for sitting in a chair and drinking wine during cold winter evenings."

Aviv Cohn / The Widest Smiling Faces

"How Little Can Be The Orchestra, the new EP from A Journey Down the Well combines provocative melodies and textures with a natural and minimal sound palette. The first track, "How" brimming with lovely tones and compelling harmonies, is a particular standout. Later pieces contrast captured field recordings with melodic compositions, a wonderful example being "Little" which begins by relaying sounds of a port or perhaps a commercial dock (or something similar). As the track progresses, string swells create the imagery of deep ocean waves, presenting a fascinating juxtaposition of captured sounds with composed imagery. "How Little Can Be the Orchestra" is full of imaginative little ideas like this, and is a fantastic EP for anyone who enjoys creativity and imagery in their music."

Ludovico Lamarra / En Plein Air

“A Journey Down The Well produce a small and precious EP, abandoning electronic experiments of the first work, with the will to embrace the essence of the music, in four stylish and minimal tracks.”

Methieu Massilotte / Kimika

The new EP "How Little Can Be The Orchestra" released by A Journey Down The Well from Fluttery Records is a perfect continuum of four musical movements. Quiet, subtle and intense, the perfect composition of strings accompanied by punctuated sounds reminds images portrayed by Godspeed You! Black Emperor as well as some delicate atmospheres of Brian Eno. A balance of hope and serenity.

Jun Minowa / Yawning, Gargle

“As if every single note carries a meaning, as if trying to read between the silence, I swim deep in the sea of their music. "How Little Can Be The Orchestra" is a great EP with fantastic composition and emotional sound. Ever since I knew Fluttery Records, I could have found some real music that touch my heart and they are surely one of them. Now it's time for you to discover A Journey Down The Well.”

Jan Hammer / Draff Krimmy

“I hear the first sounds of the new A Journey Down The Well. A feeling of joy is flowing through me. That joy carries with it a feeling of sadness, no destructive sorrow but a self-sufficient melancholy. This feeling is good, freedom and fear, pleasure and pain. The music makes me enjoy the moment, authentic and pure. I re-discover the feeling I had when listening to the first A Silver Mt Zion albums. It is only the moment and my experience of it. I am right here now. The orchestra is little, but the mood it leaves behind is enormous. And it grows every time I listen to it.”
