about

Final of three releases from William Selman in 2014. Modular-based, slow moving, polyrhythmic dub.

As FACT Mag said about Selman's "Equatorial Night" album on Hausu Mountain, "On 'Equatorial Night,' Portland’s William Selman mines a rich vein of slow-moving synthetic dub. Driven home by the bass and rhythms, Selman’s composition are intricate and flowing. There’s a huge amount of space between the tones, like an expansive landscape opening up before the listener in cinematic fashion, but it’s the tiny details that give these two sprawling pieces so much life."

"William Selman's music casts ambiance with vague but insistent purpose, less music for airports and more like the downtime in an action film score, wrought with anticipation and encoded information. On his latest release, Urbanism and Ecology, the plot is laid bare: the album etches out, with echoes of Huerco S., a dreamlike chart of the patterns and movement of human cities and commerce through stretches of time and space. Below you can stream “Jetty Index,” in which glitchy rhythms clack out a metallic process over airy synths that span into vistas, a time-lapse flyby of industrial docklands thick with pensive observation and a tinge of looming desolation." -Ad Hoc
