"People, places, and photos are some of the inspirations Camir drew on when creating his debut album's nine ambient compositions. Together with collaborators 'cloud guitarist' Jon Durant and violinist Caryn Lyn, the veteran keyboardist attempts to bridge the fleeting with the unforgettable via low-key, synth-driven explorations that balance sound and silence to make their point. I wasn't solely interested in composing music which featured what the industry refers to as a hook," explains Camir of the disc's approach. "Instead, I wanted the album to reflect and point the listener towards a mindstate which in turn becomes the hook." The album's intense subtlety inevitably leads to intense subjectivity. Whether Fourteen Years is nirvana or numbing entirely depends on a listener's ability to embrace music that envelops, rather than engulfs their environment."-Innerviews/Anil Prasad.
