feels like there's a whole story in here! at first i was falling off a cliff towards a dark crumbling city of an unknown future, not hitting the ground but rushing through streets, coasting over plains, leaden skies with a murky orange sun trying to break through.. very occasional glimpses of peace behind the mayhem.. this is beyond music! i'm sure i rad somewhere that this album would be a soundtrack without a film? this feels like the soundtrack and the film in one! love it :)

What a valley. I'll be looking out on the 21st. Your command of space and texture makes me happy.

It is again a very special landscape, in which you take us here. I´m looking forward to hear more.

nice, suitably dark and weird as suggested by the title, and both wearing and subverting its influences proudly :) Nice concept and an interesting bit of narrative in the text

The direction that Faex Optim (aka Wesley MacDonald) steers "Lucky Charm" is a little different from what we are used to from the multitalented sound sculptor. His crystallized sonic worlds mostly rested on well-established Boards of Canada psychedelic and downtempo dynamics, but "Lucky Charm" has a more reflective melody with danceable electronics and broken beats that we're welcoming with open ears. An utterly refreshing and colorful track.

The Darkling Year

In these times . . . my wish . . . melancholy hope

Melancholy Hope

Casually picked up my 2.4 shakuhachi made by Perry Yung and was playing a few tones when I realized my freestanding pianoharp was resonating like crazy. Thus this little experiment. Headphones or good monitors to hear the subtle resonance.

Excerpts from the Everyday Dust album Landscape X and The Valley Of Foghorns.  Out now on https://soundcloud.com/sparkwood-records

Here:
https://sparkwoodrecords.bandcamp.com/album/landscape-x-and-the-valley-of-foghorns

Arguably a soundtrack with no film. A wash of analogue synthesisers, industrial drones and burbling electronics - with more than a nod to avant-garde film scores, early Tangerine Dream and 80s horror soundtracks. 

"The petrified, ghostly landscape is burned out and barren. Relics of bygone industry scatter the horizon. However the vast array of smouldering factory chimneys would suggest the city is not entirely dead… The mechanical grinding ebb and flow of industry haunts the air, and a deep droning pulse can be heard emanating from deep within the haze and smog… and what are those foghorns??? What do they mean? 

Towering above the dystopian vista, the colossal X Temple glowed like a beacon both hopeful and terrifying. To fully understand the riddle, the Sage, Nevermore must find the Clavis Aurea buried deep in the ruins of the city. Within its walls can be found the ancient mechanical rotor deciphering machines that will break through the secret coded meaning of the cipher he carries. 

In the distance, Nevermore hears those foghorns again… “

For years I have been exploring ways of composing for Buchla Music Easel and the Japanese Shakuhachi bamboo flute.  None have satisfied me until this morning.  This is a sketch and hopefully a catalyst for more composition.
