ECHOES

Coming from the fairly standard electronic artist Edgaras Zakevičius, his 2012 work Echoes is your basic ambient electronic album. In the vein of some of Brian Eno or The Orb, Zakevičius (under the name Stellardrone) utilizes the soundscape to project ideas of the cosmic void with sound of billowing choral echoes. This ultimately is a fair definition of 21st century ambiance, and unfortunately Stellardrone fails to bring much of anything new to the table. A state of calm is instated upon listening, but the same can be said for most other albums of it's stature. Zakevičius is very keen on his work being used in different forms of media, but the niche that this sort of music fills is small. Without any prior experience into this artist, I can easily say that this is extremely dull and uninteresting.
