Is this, I wonder, as I bathe in this album's immersive soundscapes, the type of ambient music that could be AI generated without anyone picking up the absence of human involvement.
The album consists of nine synthesized (synthetic?) tracks all lasting around five or six minutes which unfold at a glacial pace.
The idea is apparently to suggest landscapes we can sense but never fully see.
Titles like Forms in the Distance, Slow Collapse of Light and Dreams of a Forgotten Place emphasize this lack of clarity. As if to hammer home the point,the blurred cover image could have been taken from a spaceship or in a bathroom!

'Unseen Topographies' is the second album/chapter in the Norwegian artist’s ‘Interiors’ trilogy. Even without hearing the other two parts, I think it’s safe to assume that they all adhere to a similar premise and template.
It is perfect listening for those looking for unobtrusive music for mediational purposes or to create an atmosphere for quiet study.
