“Perennial” contiene doce piezas de ambient en las que Powers toca su delicada guitarra y sintetizadores que se enhebran en distintas capas formando ondas sonoras que serpentean por caminos sinuosos. Líneas sintetizadas ambientales y notas sostenidas que crean una atmósfera acogedora que mantiene un perfecto equilibrio entre la melancolía y la inspiración para un sueño duradero e infinito.
Si esta fuera la música ambiente en nuestro entorno, sin duda que este mundo sería mucho mejor.

“Perennial” contains twelve ambient pieces in which Powers plays his delicate guitar and synthesizers that are threaded into different layers shaping sound waves that wind along sinuous paths. Ambient synthesized lines and sustained notes create a cozy atmosphere that maintains a perfect balance between melancholy and inspiration for a lasting and infinite dream.
If this were the ambient music in our environment, without a doubt this world would be much better.
