It ranges from cold ambient drones to warm New Age tunes and beyond, Hyphen is an album of contrasts. Like all of her music, Hyphen has no vision and no goal, it's simply a discovered medley of fascinating digital ambient textures.\n\nHyphen, the debut album from Braindouche! producer Meredith Matthews, is an experimental ambient album with a broad scope.",
