Ontologist drops ‘Cantor’s Jams’

Based in the San Francisco Bay area, Ontologist is the alias of artist and producer Patrick Liddell who strives, and succeeds, to create vivid audio and visual experiences like no other. With a wide array of influences from psychedelic orchestral electronica, minimalist and ambient to world, reggae and jazz styles, it’s impossible to define his sound into one singular theme or genre.

A wildly creative artist, his music is a melting pot of vibrant instrumentation, layered percussion and colourful melodic writing often carried by synths and string arrangements. Not just a talented musical force, his video artist skills have helped him create a truly unique offering with his live performances blending sonic and visual art into a cohesive and immersive extravaganza.

The artist has regular collaborations with acts from all over the world such as Hotel Eden, Maurice, Outshine Family, Silences Sumires, Vox Novus, Tomorrow Music Orchestra as well as countless other solo acts. With six impressive records released to date via Canzona Records, he now brings us a reimagining of the hidden gems lifted from the full four-album Cantor’s Comb cycle.

The new LP, titled Cantor’s Jams, features fourteen tracks all remixed to add new grooves and flair to the originals. Across the release, each track shimmers and shines with stunning authenticity, packed full of piquant instrumental touches and intriguing songwriting structures.

With Cantor’s Jams, Ontologist demonstrates his ability at breathing new life into his existing music to frame the songs in completely new settings. Luscious tones and delicate rhythms collide on a release that confirms this artist has an astonishing creative vision and the talents to deliver it with captivating music.
