Jason Letkiewicz - The Reflecting Pool preview (Into The Light)

Over the last decade, we’ve come accustomed to Jason Letkiewicz releasing material under a dizzying array of aliases, each utilized to explore a different side of his multi-faceted musical persona. Now, some 14 years after he made his recording debut alongside Ari Goldman as Manhunter, Letkiewicz has joined forces with Into The Light Records to release his first album under his real name.

The Reflecting Pool sees Letkiewicz exploring the uncomplicated and uncluttered in the pursuit of pure aural beauty. While his recent album as Opposing Currents was dense, dark, urban and industrial, The Reflecting Pool is stripped back, quiet and melodious. The contrast between the two projects is marked, with The Reflecting Pool drawing more on Letkiewicz’s love of crystalline ambient, slow burn synthesizer soundscapes, early ’80s library music and the kind of obscure electronic new age music that has been a hallmark of Into The Light’s releases to date.

The set’s 12 tracks gently ebb and flow, with Letkiewicz making great use of dusty old drum machines, effects units and a range of vintage analogue and digital synthesizers.

It looks like multifaceted newyorker Jason Letkiewicz (AKA Steve Summers, AKA Rhythm Based Lovers, AKA Alan Hurst, AKA Malvoeaux, and so on) is the man of the month for the international musical press.

Besides a recent "Machine Love" on RA (click here for a complete view on machine jamming and smart DIY production), the producer -alongside flatmate Bookworms from L.I.E.S. fame- has recorded a Confused House exclusive 30-min live set for the Concepto Radio podcast series. 

Jummy!
