Hidden Rivers is the alias of Huw Roberts, an artist who sounds infatuated with IDM, drone and raindrops. His music is upended by strong walls of ambient but uses a haze of twinkling synth melodies and programmed percussion to differentiate parts of its humble landscape: a lot of ambient music makes you think of the pretty countryside, but Hidden Rivers describes it in detail, building with a light touch a la (who else) Boards of Canada . More than that, though, the work of Josh Mason comes to mind, particularly ‘The Symbiont’, a record which counterbalanced droning figures with little but all-important modulations in sound.
