Rift Vision 001 is producer and stay-at-home-DJ Lauren Ritter’s latest record. It is the debut
album from her own, newly-minted label, Rift Vision.
The album acts as vanguard of Rift Vision’s aesthetic: liminal, subconscious, and ultimately,
synesthetic. At the outset, it’s apparent that Ritter has traded in the “cool” of her minimal dance
music performances for deeply personal, dream-like compositions. Live instruments, spoken
word (Tenesha the Wordsmith), and melodies written on Ritter’s modest collection of
synthesizers are hallmarks of each bespokenly-titled track.
While it’s not hard to imagine hearing any of Rift Vision 001’s tracks on the dance floor, it is
hard to imagine why Ritter waited so long to release music like this.
