The Distancing EP is a solo project produced by Jason Lurman under the Sora Shima moniker he shares with Gavin McDermott, Tuhua Mutu & Rob Shirlow. The four song EP entitled Distancing, alludes to a beautiful naturalistic setting free from any disrupting inhabitants. Yet all of the songs are given an edgy quality with the occasional hollow or sharp tones increasing tension. These agitated sounds are eventually subdued by their softly moving counterparts composed of minimal textural drones. Overall this meditative experience dissolves mental thought and is physically relaxing. Although, in order to grasp the full effect that Sora Shima provides, one must remain in a state of deep concentration and emotional awareness.
