KEITH SCHREINER – www.auditorysculpture.com
The mastermind behind project:lagom, Auditory Sculpture’s Keith Schreiner has been busy: he’s spent the last 10 years scoring for television, crafting moods for award-winning films (“The Poodle Trainer,” “Ocularist”) and producing the sound for bands like Portland-darling Oracle. But as a result of this success, Schreiner has found little time or space for his own music.
His latest solo release entitled LAGOM is an ambient album full of the sounds and moods which moved Schreiner into a career in music in the first place. A Swedish word with poor translation in English, LAGOM refers to the philosophy of this release: an easygoing approach to life which neither overreaches or underachieves–a style which strives for a contentment with the middle.
Auditory Sculpture has managed to take a breath from the frenetic and hectic schedule of a successful production house, and dialed it down; he’s synthesized his philosophy in a sound both fresh but nostalgic, new but reminiscent of his roots.
LAGOM fulfills the desire of Schreiner to embrace the chill, to find his center, to go home again.
