    Like a stew, this album takes energies and flavors from its components, each contribution blending and acquiring the vibrations of everything around it. The songs reverberate, flow into one another, sooth and intrigue.

    Nine pieces that come off even more inventive than the present company suggests.

    Aartfully collected set of recordings, one that never ceases to make you shift your weight, either into comfort or something more unsettled.

    The sound here is plastic, pliant, gentle--tonal driftwood punctuated by sun-dappled synths and ruminative piano, like Eno's Music For Airports gone miniature. [May 2019, p.37]

    The outcome is a typically serene and spacious deconstruction of concept and melody; a compression, or reduction of a vast palette of reference points, ideas and processes into a remarkably integrated set of movements. [May 2019, p.64]

    Serenitatem, the latest volume in RVNG Intl.'s FRKWYS series, harks back to Ojima's environmental music of the period. The delicate synthwork across the LP is uncluttered and unobtrusive.
