Woodlands is another inspired chapter in Rudy Adrian's continuing exploration of atmospheric music. Once again influenced by the stunning natural spaces in his home country of New Zealand, Rudy has created a moving ambient impression of the wild forests and planted parks of Dunedin.

Woodlands offers thirteen deep and enchanting tracks that naturally continue the artistic thread from Rudy's two previous releases, Atmospheres and Coastlines. Stirring atmospherics, natural ambiences and delicate synthscapes slowly evolve and drift through a forest of mystical moods and sacred spaces, creating a timeless work of textural electronic beauty.

The album is filled with the slowly evolving melodies, harmonically rich textures, subtle ambiences, otherworldly vocal effects, and sublime moments that listeners have come to expect from a Rudy Adrian album, and fans of Rudy's previous works will also recognize the stunning baroque flute of Nick Prosser on the track "Deep Within Forbidden Mountains."

Infused with the essence of wind, distant water, and the echoes of life, the mysterious music of Woodlands renders a deep and tranquil soundtrack; a serene reflection of long walks within wooded wonderlands where scattered light filters through the spreading boughs of forest trees.

Press Quotes

Suppose Eno didn't have the kind of name you could keep trading on at the major label level and had to sign with North Sound. This is the kind of ambient nature music we could probably have expected as a result. With nature inspiring an inspired New Zealand botanist, Adrian isn't afraid to explore some of the darker sides of nature veering away from airier sides of the new age takes on this. An ambient record with many moods, a little this, a little smoke...

Everything is perfect in this album.

     —Vivek Kumar, 2Indya

Gentle, mysterious realms transport the listener in a comfortable, alternate reality beyond.
