No Colour / No Sound, Part I

Survey #2 (One Thousand Dreams I Never Had) is out now via A Guide To Saints. Available now from the Room40 store. (purchase of cassette comes with immediate download)… Enjoy.
Seeing that the recording coming out soon was made entirely up in the mountains, it seems reasonable that I remind you of some of the weirdness that takes place when spending 80 days alone at 1800 meters above sea level during the alpine winter.
Everyone needs friends. Here’s who I hung out with during the early months of 2011.
Survey #2 (One Thousand Dreams I Never Had) will be out on the 1st of May this year through Lawrence English’s brand new A Guide To Saints imprint. Made in early 2011, it’s a collection of sounds and ideas that appeared during 80 days spent in a wooden cabin high up in the Austrian Alps. A mostly instrumental audio postcard that transcribes (amongst other things) the sensations of extreme isolation and freedom.
Manifested in tonal experiments and simple movements of minimal chord progressions, it features guitar drones interpreting cloud patterns, meditations on the full moon’s light shimmering on frozen surfaces – as well as randomly fragmented expressions of sound.
All of it wrapped and illuminated by the duo-tone of deep alpine winter, Survey #2 contains 13 pieces of music, intertwined to make a 34 minute edition of sound.
Out via A Guide to Saints on May 1st 2012.
