Weather Exposed (aka multi-instrumentalist Jason Gray) has been creating deeply expressive music that pushes boundaries and breaks expectations in various forms for the past decade. As his material slowly comes out those of us listening have been able to hear the evolving process of an artist able to critique and challenge his own creative instincts. I've written about his music before, most recently his collaborative noise/ambient project Saudade (with the intrepid con artist Chris Cantino) and now always check in with his soundcloud to see what he is up to.
"Ghost Pedal" has a restful tone, looping guitar over soft radio static and unknown percussion. Not quite moving forward, though not retreating, the sound stays suspended in its own beautiful realm.

"Ten Years" sounds exactly like that. It builds steadily with repeated keyboard notes over deep passages of extended ambient tone. Is it a reflection on the past decade, or a mediation on the passage of time? It could be both or neither, creating a sonic space where either action would be at home.

Jason has a few releases you can check out, notably on Peasant Magik, and the Saudade album on Arena Rock Recordings.
