Saturday Drones - Sampler

Ashlar is the collaborative project of Wil Bolton (Hibernate, Home Normal, Time Released Sound) and Phil Edwards/PJE (Twisted Treeline, U-Cover, Crazy Language).

Both based in Merseyside, UK (Wil in Liverpool's Chinatown, Phil in the Wirral), these two artists and friends began working together at the beginning of 2011.  Lazy Saturday afternoons spent in various public houses in Liverpool's Georgian Quarter were followed by evenings jamming in Wil's studio, culminating in the collection of textural ambient tracks 'Saturday Drones'.

Scratchy field recordings made on mobile phones and minidisc combine with sprawling electric and acoustic guitar improvisations, grainy loops and blurry drones, embellished with analogue synthesiser and electronics.
