Darkling Streams by Robert Haigh

Memorable melodies, ghostly harmonies, yearning phrases, and tense, frequently circular rhythms are often the only figures populating his songs, and with them he draws up a surprisingly diverse cast of expressions and feelings. – Laughtrack

Whether circular or linear, these tuneful, minimal melodies are truly precious pieces, black-and-white snapshots only just beginning to yellow and curl at the edges. – Igloo

You’d think Haigh’s choice of instrumentation — primarily piano — would act as a limiter rather than a liberator, but the opposite is in fact true. More evidently, Haigh’s channeled a number of his contemporaries (Steve Reich and Susumu Yokota spring instantly to mind) to give these pieces authoritative heft. – The Squid’s Ear

Robert Haigh is a British electronic, ambient and experimental musician. Born in Yorkshire, he moved to London in the late 70s to study art. There he produced ambient and industrial music under the name Sema and worked with Nurse with Wound. In the 90s he became known for a unique style of ambient drum and bass under the name Omni Trio. His later music is a return to introspective piano ambience.
