Drifting in silence is an apt description of the feeling evoked by the music of American multi-instrumentalist and composer Derrick Stembridge. Shimmering ambiences driven by groove rhythms and punctuated by instrumental riffs and snatches of concrete sounds irresistibly create the sensation of movement through regions of light and shadow.
