Asher

The sonic world of musician, Asher, is a quiet, warmly textured one, full of gauzy hiss and rainsoaked half-melodies that gently and glacially unfold. His music is uncannily beautiful and evocative, sometimes overtly melodic, as on his recent CD, Landscapes Elsewhere, but more often spare and abstract. In the past year or so, Asher has released a spate of recordings on labels, such as Conv, Leerraum, and Homophoni, with each title revealing a subtly different facet of his musical personality.
