danielle baquet-long & will long: strings, tape, samples, field recordings
recorded october 2007
celer is the sound, visual, literary, and artistic endeavor of the husband and wife duo of will long and danielle baquet-long (she sadly passed in july '09). celer fastly gained a big name in the ambient/experimental thanks for exquisite self-releases and soon was approached by numerous international renowned labels such as infraction, and/oar, mystery sea, smallfish or spekk (a collaboration with mathieu ruhlmann). based upon strings, samples and field recordings, this 22min is another example of the simple beauty celer was able to create... - Taalem

'Pockets Of Wheat' reviewed by Vital Weekly
CELER - POCKETS OF WHEAT (CD by Soundscaping)
In a relative short time span Celer has gained a strong reputation through string of releases. They play ambient music. Their new album 'Pockets Of Wheat' was conceived during a trip across the USA, from California to Mississippi. They stayed in a small hotel in Texas and saw outside endless wheat fields and that inspired this album. They recorded five hours of recordings made with cello, violin, piano, bells, crickets and wind, which were spliced together in one hundred segments of five to ten seconds which were played as loops, played together in various degrees and various sequences. That's not easy to hear as this hour long work is one of continuos drone music: loops fade in, fade out, fade in, but since they sound kinda similar, this is music that is always moving and shifting about. Like many shades of one color, or indeed like a wheat field. From a distance it looks the same but by close inspection you will notice that they are different. It works well, this ambient music. Its nothing new under the ambient sun, but this gentle music is bound to bring light and joy on a grey day. Nothing special for the genre of ambient, and nothing outstanding in the world of Celer, but another fine addition to the vastly expanding catalogue. (FdW)
