Sounds Like“Evokes Brian Eno’s ambient work… A study in epic subtlety.” – Austin Chronicle

“One of the most impressive minimalist albums released in Austin” --Austinist

“Considerable originality and craftsmanship.” – Paris Transatlantic

“Electro-acoustic tunes that are warm and surprising… Images of fleeting power and ebbing beauty.” – Foxy Digitalis

“Meditative. A genuine work of sound art.” – Panpot

“…a means of escape, a medium for the imagination to run free and for the foreboding thoughts of the real world to cease to exist.” – Drowned in Sound

“Dent should certainly be praised for his meticulous attention to detail. It is what makes “Empires And Milk” such an intriguing piece of music and a triumphant achievement.” – Sound as Language

“Inspiring.” – Loop

“Ambient soundscapes that eerily seem to portray all of humans’ worst fears and loves all in one fell swoop. Caustic noise and reverberated echoes bounce back and forth with a beckon towards the light and the dark... Compelling drone music that will have you pondering everything you’ve ever held dear or held at arm’s length.” -- Smother

“[A] restrained and meditative work...Dent emphasizes the hymnal dimension of his music, distinguishing his sound from that of his similarly meditative kin.” -- Textura

“This music feels very personal...it is also dreamy and melancholic, that it acts sometimes like some sort of aural perfume. It has its own internal workings as several listens actually reveal a very special dynamic between the use of melodic fragments and the way drones are being sculpted.” -- Foxy Digitalis

Hi Loren,

Thanks for the add, though I always thought you were on my list already. That was probably as Lamella.
Anyhow, still love your music...anything new coming up soonish?

Greetings,
