Tod Dockstader's Aerial series, an electronic/drone masterpiece, is cherished among fans of the artist's work and this first volume is available in a double LP edition of 500 copies with 100 copies on clear vinyl exclusively for Imprec mailorder customers. 

     15 years in the making, Tod Dockstader's Aerial series is sourced from his life long passion for shortwave radio. Dockstader collected over 90 hours of recordings, made at night, and comprised of cross signals and fragments plucked from the atmosphere.

       Opening with airwave drones, Dockstader gradually allows elements to slowly come and go, summoning an ominous atmosphere of ethereal cloud clouds. Malignant placidity continues, giving the feeling of eavesdropping upon late-night audio activity not unlike discovering number stations while sweeping the dials. These sounds pull you in as their density and rhythms come and go. 
 
      Backward voices, deep echoing choruses of conversations flowing under the surface, ocean sounds, pulsing electro-rhythms, all seem to be created via the collaging of many hours of source recordings. A masterwork of collage and juxtaposition by an overlooked pioneer of American electronic music. 

Artwork by John Brien (Imprec) is inspired by the propagation of shortwave radio signals throughout the earth's atmosphere. 

Press: 

"This return of Dockstader is something to cherish, not just because his output has been so limited and scarce but because what we do have is so intriguing, persuasive and cliche-free; the music of an inspired explorer who trails in nobody's slipstream."  The Wire

SLEEVE NOTES:
Brian Eno defined “ambience” as “atmosphere”, as “a surrounding influence: a tint”, and he created Ambient Music to induce “a space to think”. In the intervening forty-five years, the genre classified as ambient has instead generated an endless catalogue of anodyne day-spa sounds that run perilously close to the Muzak that he reacted against. 

  In Fragile States, we return to ambient’s origin story, to capture the atmospherics of our time, highlighting the values of “doubt and uncertainty” that were so present, and so prescient, in Eno’s work. Although he sought to make his ambient work “as ignorable as it is interesting”, we seek not to rescind the agency of sound. Our environments are too perilous to be ignored.  

Instead, Fragile States proposes a ‘conscious ambience’, one which is entirely in lock-step with our social and political malaise. Across 25 tracks, we find all manner of misgivings in our surrounding influences. The tint is now tainted, yet we move on nonetheless. This is ambient music for connection and purpose; a runway to resolution. Music for life support.
