Near The Parenthesis - Of Soft Construction (99mb)

Near The Parenthesis is the alias that Tim Arndt, a San Francisco-based electronic musician, utilizes for his warm electronic creations. While playing conventional instruments like piano and guitar in several bands throughout the years, Tim has continually been grounded in electronic and experimental music. After disbanding the Urban Needle project featuring Steve Mehlman (Pere Ubu) and Mark Gamiere (The Wake), he decided to go it alone and focus on full instrumental compositions. Tim released “Go Out and See” winning enthusiastic reviews from the likes of XLR8R, The Wire, and Textura. A follow-up EP titled "Be Still" on Japan’s Duotone records, featured 5 more of Arndt’s emotional ebb and flow compositions in limited release. In the summer of 2006, Near The Parenthesis signed on to n5MD and in November of 2007 released Of "Soft Construction". The Album being a logical progression from his debut as well as a stylistic watermark for n5MD as a whole. There are certain signposts on the record that point towards a creative kinship with artists like Ulrich Schnauss or Manual - there's certainly a similar preoccupation with expansive melodic melodrama and finely crafted electronic beat-making.
