REVIEWS
Ravage Webzine
Trouwe lezers van deze experimentele muziekrubriek hebben al de nodige releases van Core Shift, het ambient project van Mike Kramer, voorbij zien komen. De laatste release, the slow shifting of parallel interpretations of life, is een prachtig volwaardige cd waarop voortgaande string-synth geluiden een belangrijk aandeel vormen.
De vijf tracks, waarvan de laatste een chill versie is van de eerste track Liquid Colors, zijn onrustiger dan voorgaande releases van Core Shift. De langgerekte tonen creëren weliswaar de nodige rust, maar de beats zijn meer uptempo, zonder dat het dansbaar wordt in de gangbare zin van het woord. De muziek is desondanks meditatief van karakter, waarbij de geest door de diverse geluidslagen continu geprikkeld wordt om helder en alert te blijven. Mike Kramer weet zowel met veldopnames als met digitale middelen de luisteraar los te rukken van het jachtige bestaan, zonder die gejaagdheid uit het oog te verliezen. Hij verwerkt dat aspect eveneens in zijn muziek. (author: Jan Kees Helms)

Recently I have been playing a lot of cd’s again… I re-discovered my collection and also some new ones arrived here at the ET HQ… among the new ones are two self-released cd’s by Dutch ambient project Core Shift…
What stands out in the music of Core Shift is a really nice blending of spacious synth sounds and tranquil rhythms… overall the mood is rather dreamy while it never lulls you to sleep…
Both records ("The Slow Shifting Of Parallel Interpretations Of Life" and "Just Some Thoughts") are released in small editions and available through the artist himself here…
And here (

ABOUT CORE SHIFT
Core Shift produces Ambient/Techno spiced with Experimental Electronics. The music is characteristic thanks to the typical use of layered sounds which is both intense and subtle; the listener is carried along in a sonic space similar to water in sea, where Core Shifts sound can be compared as currents that blend and always refresh. Added pulsating rhythms complete the sound to be described as 'Dance for the mind'.
Core Shift, founded in early 2013 is one of Mike Kramer's aliases. Mike is also active as a sound art artist recording and producing sounds for installations and releases. Besides that he is the initiator and artistic leader of (h)ear, a foundation which focusses on sound art and experimental music by organizing performances, lectures, workshops and exhibitions.
