Akoustik Timbre Frekuency - Kleansing Thee Sakred Space

Taken from 'Seesar - Flight Of Raphtontis'

I am very excited to announce thee highly anticipated debut full length release from Ethnomusikologist Dr. Will Connor and his solo Elektroakoustik Dark Ambient projekt 'Seesar' on thee Sombre Soniks label. 

Thee release, entitled Flight of Raphtontis, features performances on household items, such as "shelf brackets, pot lids, and a bicycle to enhance the extended techniques used with traditional percussion". Many of thee drums that appear on thee album were built by Connor himself as part of his Ethnomusikology research during his Masters and Ph.D. studies. Connor states that thee sounds generated using these instruments emulates both textures promoted by Futurism and thee dark nightmarish kreatures and situations found within thee works of Lovecraft. 

From thee Artist: 
“The music on the album was created using musical approaches put forth by Italian Futurist Luigi Russolo to honor H. P. Lovecraft, the literary figure regularly cited as being the father of modern horror. 
“Both figures have been an extremely important figure in the development of experimental music and literature, both to me personally, and countless other musicians, artists, and writers working today.”

Seesar - Worshipping R'taq

Taken from 'Yumi Hara & Guy Harries - Wheels Within Wheels'

Sombre Soniks is extremely proud to announce thee release of a new kollaborative work between Yumi Hara and Guy Harries! 

Koming after their ‘Sonic Rituals’ projekt, this release features a selektion of live kompositions taken from their tours of Japan and Lithuania, totalling just over 42mins of avant-garde soundskapes. Also inkludes a 15 page booklet featuring info on thee Artists and photos from thee tours! 

From thee Artists: 
"Sound artists Yumi Hara Cawkwell and Guy Harries work as a duo, creating ‘sonic rituals’. Using voices, found objects, electronic processing, field recordings, and nonlinear synthesizers, the duo’s performances unfold through a process of improvisation. The structure of the performances, which is never premeditated, is inspired by the concept of ritual, imbued with intent and a sense of inevitability, yet allowing for risk and unpredictability to lead the scenario in new directions." 

This komposition was rekorded on location at the Composers’ Union Guest House, Druskininkai, Lithuania in May 2012.
