Frank Dambra drops a sonic reverie born in the mountains "Pleromatic"

Frank Dambra's latest release, Pleromatic, is a breath and ambient exhale molded from the expansive, meditative spaces of Lincoln National Forest, New Mexico. Renowned for his seamless cross-genre approach, Dambra transitions from the angular intricacies of his last outing, Cosmic Thought, into a distilled, meditative soundscape that resonates with simplicity and profundity.

Written in the quiet of mountain drives and the still of forests, "Pleromatic" is both a soundtrack and spirit guide. Its slow gait and sacral ambient aesthetic nod to ambient forefathers Brian Eno and Harold Budd, with more than a passing nod to the atmospheric particulars of Ambient. The result is a calling card of a composition that is truly timeless, inviting you not just to listen to but experience music as a means of introspection and numinous thought.

The track's minimalist piano lines float free, supported by subtle synthesizer treatments that foreshadow Dambra's later experiments in ambient textures. There's sophistication in its restraint and quiet confidence that says much without seeking attention.

A Houston resident, Dambra has been a mainstay of the city's Jazz scene and is known for his adventurous approach to harmony and timbre. But Pleromatic offers another layer of his artistry: a composer who knows that less can be more, to allow silence to speak as potently as sound. This release is not just a song but a contemplative space in which the mind can wander a sonic mirror. And in that sensation, Frank Dambra keeps stretching the limits of new music.
