Electronic music is a whole universe, with its cities, landscapes and oceans. This double album catches glimpses of this vastness, jazzy improvisations at the heart of the first album’s tracks, and lingering on soundscapes and atmospheres on the next one, far much more ambient and more oriented to abstract minimalism. In this ambient jazz music, there are still oriental instrumentations with the Koto, the electronic Udu, and many more. Have a listen to these many sides of Music!
Album released April 27, 2014. Remixed and remastered in November, 2017

Many Sides of Music – The Ambient Way‘s a fascinating release from Mr Potin, a lovely varied instrumental journey of both inner and outer space music. Frequently his albums stay firmly rooted in ancient world mystery, but this ones shows the artist taking flight and getting lost in the furthest reaches of space more than ever before. He finds a perfect balance for all these elements, and Spacerock lovers who don’t mind a laid-back, slowly unfolding and ambient variation of the style should appreciate this. It hints at all sorts of directions the artist may like to head in the future, and as always for a Jazzcomputer.org release, it has a quiet contemplative spirit woven throughout the music, that I’m sure is very much a reflection of the artist himself.
