The latest release from Glen Neff entitled 'Quiet Mirror', is now playing on M.P.R Ambient.
Released June 6th 2024
Santa Fe musician and painter Glen Neff fuses his love of instrumental melodic improvisation with a steady hand in the digital studio. Blending spacial sound sculptures and globally influenced electronic music with melodic jazz improvisation. Ambient/chill is one definition given to this music, Neff's work will tickle that perhaps dormant spot in your ear canal in some pretty intriguing ways. While there is a heft of traditional African, Punjabi-Bhangra, Eastern European and Middle Eastern influence running through Neff's rhythmic and vocal-sample veins, Neff deftly adds more contemporary meat to the musical muscle, with layers upon layers of synth, live instruments, effects, drum programming and out-of-left-field genre inclusions. It takes a careful listen to sift the latter out, but it’s worth the ride if you want a mellow escape.
“Glen Neff’s approach to creating music, inspired by his experience as a visual artist and guided by improvisation, is a creative freedom and melodic and textural exploration that is undeniably captivating. Creating a mood is evocative, transporting the listener on a sonic journey rich in texture and emotion". Neff’s more meditative music is included in two compilation album releases with the Monroe Institute. https://monroeinstitute.org/products/shape-shifter
