The Era of Airships - "Fanfare for the Burning of Sorrows"
Along with Kalia Vandever’s excellent trombone led ambient record, 2023 is a great year for horn based ambient music. Featuring 25 tracks of trumpet layered as ambient pads, The Era of Airships has created a beautifully resonant and quietly triumphant track with “Fanfare for the Burning of Sorrows”. Trumpets swell, crest, die while multiple moving pads create the sturdy groundfloor of music and movement at the heart of this track. Fans of Vandever’s work, Space Between Clouds and A Winged Victory for the Sullen will find a lot to love here.
