The second release is from the increasingly less prolific Celer is the single piece Zigzag that has a different, developed approach to Will Long’s penchant for ambient space. The most overt difference that is immediately noticeable is that rather than expansive drones, he instead works in the context of a rhythmic bounce dynamic, leading me to believe that the title could possibly be a reference to the waveform view of the piece or the amplification used in the final mix.
Beyond that, the other striking difference is a heavier use of layering and differing tones and textures throughout the 48 minute duration. The shifting tonal qualities and rhythmic feel adds to this, and even though the dynamics keep things pretty quiet, it never drifts off into the background like similarly sparse, minimalist recordings often do.
