Opaque Studies I, released 1st May:
Opaque Studies I comprises two single-take, improvised guitar soundscapes, and one piece built from layered manipulations of these recordings. There are no overdubs.
A while ago I started working with big ‘scapes built only from processed guitar and a solitary 2-second looper, in the hope that I could perform live with as dense a soundfield as The End of Bees ep. Previous efforts to create that TEOB sound live had been problematic. With this new setup, I was soon able to get surprisingly big sounds, and so pursued it further: playing live, recording the Visible Universe sessions, etc.
This release brings some of these experiments together so that a) they can be heard, and b) I can think about where I want to take this sound next. As is implied, I expect this to become a series of releases over time – I have a lot of these dense soundfields in the vaults and I think some are worth hearing.
Released on the lovely Surrism Phonoethics notlabel, you can get it here: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/MUTATE/Opaque_Studies_I/
Other news:
I continue to perform live and work on new material with ambient/psychedelic/post-punk outfit, Lunar Obsid. Plush recordings soonish, I’d hope.
That’s it for now..

I’d really like to listen to this but the archive.org link seems to be broken….
eg0cide – tell me about it. We couldn’t fix it, so we just use the FMA instance instead. I’d forgotten about updating the link on this posting, so that is now done, thanks to you reminding me!

And finally.. THANKS for listening!
Thanks, – streaming now, excellent organic drones, the end of track 2 is superb.
If you ever want to release something on eg0cide you’ll be welcome
Kind words, Sir!
Expect something from me, at some point – the label looks great!
