The Voiceless Voice

by The Gateless Gate

supported by
Justin Norman

Justin Norman A stunningly well-produced ambient album that shifts tone and instrumentation elegantly throughout. The album glows brightly early on and then dims into hauntingly dark territory as it progresses. The fantastic mixing, and tasteful use of the stereo field rewards repeat listens. Favorite track: The Voiceless Voice.

fran3000 Full of shimmering drones and reverb drenched melodies, The Voiceless Voice is an intimate collection of sonic prose, evocative of what trees would sound like if they could sing hymns at dawn's first light. Favorite track: We Told You It Was Love.

about

"If we observe the human world closely, we can hear a very deep sound. It is a kind of voice, yet voiceless. If we are very quiet, we can hear this voiceless voice in the bottom of the human heart... It is just there, and you are there, too. Whether you are in the middle of success or failure, your life cries.

"Even now, you are suffering. But what can you say about your suffering? There is nothing to pin down, nothing to say. The voiceless voice, which comes from the depths of human life, can't be measured. Yet it is always there... Somehow—in a word, through your body, with your mind—you must express it."

—Dainin Katagiri
