about

vinyl LP version released on Feeding Tube Records, FTR281
"It’s pretty criminal that this is Eric Arn’s first solo vinyl release, and only (according to Discogs) his third solo record of any kind. After so many years of great playing with Crystallized Movements and the Primordial Undermind, you’d imagine he would have solo albums falling out of his pockets. But the blessing in disguise is that the scarcity means there has been no chance of wearing out ideas – if such a thing were even possible – and Arn packs a lot of them into Orphic Resonance, an album as comfortable with precise finger-picked acoustics as it is with big, daunting drones.

Those two modes work as a continuum rather than multiple personalities because Arn infuses every track with a sneaky combination of patience and disorientation. Everything on Orphic Resonance feels calm and measured, yet there’s always something subversive going on, a weird note or an odd timbre that pushes and pulls the music’s equilibrium. Even when Arn settles into a sunny strumfest to close the album out, there’s a sense of probing asymmetry, a sense that he’s not just gonna let time fly by passively. It makes Orphic Resonance a beautifully tense experience, even when it’s just beautiful." – Marc Masters, The Out Door
