Recorded on Hayman Island off the coast of Queensland, Australia, the paths of stranded friends Ryko Kalinko (guitar & sampler) and Aemon Webb (vocals, guzheng & percussion) meet, creating an astonishing 3-part journey of deeply spiritual improvisations reflecting the beauty, isolation and nature of their vivid environment.

“There Are Many Moods Of Tropical Exultation” carefully spends its 20+ minute track length conjuring a spell, bringing all dust in the room to settle. Smoke trails rise. Shade cloth quietly billows. Ryko and Aemon let their guitar and guzheng flow across and between one another, dissolving clock hands and carrying the listener into the twilight hours.

“Stand For The Rush” introduces the B-side and shifts the sense of stillness towards something more rhythmic where the nocturnal world begins to open its eyes. Rattling drum machine percussion, slinking guzheng and chirping birds weave in and out of focus whilst booming kicks drive forward. A distant siren wails whilst life in surrounding undergrowth moves in shadows.

Finally “These Waves…” drops the world into droning negative space where crushing black sky comes down. Crooning out into vast nothing. Murmuring; lost at sea. “Never coming home”.

Released by Are You Before and Total Stasis.

Hayman Island Sessions was recorded on the land of the Ngaro people and produced on the land of the Gadigal people. The sovereignty of these lands was never ceded.

Stargaze Inferno - There are Many Moods of Tropical Exultation (Glorious Union Field) (Preview)

This mix from Glasgow's mainstay, Mag, was recorded at the end of 2020 and there really isn't any good reason for it not seeing the light of day earlier than this. It somehow survived multiple hard drive deaths and wandered in the cloud for way too long before resurfacing recently and finally ending it's journey as the Forecast it was always supposed to be. 

Hailing from London, adopted by Puddle Country and currently galivanting around South America, Mag has pieced together over an hour's worth of sonics that have stood the test of time, a demand unfairly put upon them by the scatter-brained "organisational" capacity of one member of 12th Isle in particular. Said member and Mag have done a number of shows together on Clyde Built throughout the years and are worth checking out, if just to appreciate the unassailable power of friendship in the face of attention deficit issues. 

Thanks for hanging in there Mag!

Two hundred fifty years of slavery. Ninety years of Jim Crow. Sixty years of separate but equal. Thirty-five years of racist housing policy. Until we reckon with our compounding moral debts, America will never be whole.
