Album lore

Light Patterns, a 2021 release on Smiling C, presents a collaboration between David Horridge and Kevin McCormick that delicately bridges classical guitar with ambient and new age textures. Across eleven tracks, the duo crafts a quiet interplay of nylon-string reveries and subtle electronic washes, as exemplified by “Glass Dreams.” The record’s restraint and clarity invite a close, attentive listen, revealing details that reward those who return to it.Though its audience remains modest—5,766 Last.fm listeners and 33,056 scrobbles attest to a quiet but steady resonance—Light Patterns occupies a distinct niche where classical discipline meets ambient spaciousness. It is a modest artifact for those who cherish the interstices between genre, a signal from 2021 that recalls both tradition and the diffuse moods of contemporary instrumental music.
