Darker Patterns by evenlode

Evenlode's 2024 release has evolved the themes that ran through the first album but has fewer percussive elements and more emphasis on organic orchestral textures. The result, although superficially meditative and 'ambient', conjures alternating emotions of relaxation and tension.

Evenlode is the ambient electronica alias of Steve Hoole. Steve was part of the first generation of 80's home musicians and became adept at wringing out unimagined sonic possibilities from budget electronic instruments and guitar effects pedals. Evenlode draws on those analog roots to produce mature soundscapes in the modern digital world, reminiscent of Tangerine Dream and Carbon Based Lifeforms.
