elizabeth Veldon - A Dream Of Allepo In Ruins

Review by Judi Journey

A Dream of Aleppo in Ruins by Elizabeth Veldon is a hauntingly beautiful album that captures the devastation and heartbreak of war. The tracks are minimalist, consisting mostly of ambient sounds and field recordings, but they pack a powerful emotional punch.

Veldon's use of repetition and layering creates a sense of unease and tension, reflecting the chaos and uncertainty of life in a war zone. The album's title track is particularly poignant, with its mournful piano melody and distant sounds of explosions and gunfire.

Summary by Judi Journey

Despite the heavy subject matter, A Dream of Aleppo in Ruins is a deeply moving and cathartic listening experience. Veldon's music is a reminder of the human cost of war and the resilience of those who survive it. This album is a must-listen for anyone interested in experimental or politically charged music.
