Voices rise from the sea, unalone on the steep 
Walk through ruins to the uncontained abyss
Lay across the starry fields and knowingness
Surrender to the hidden evergreen, as we return as trees 

Wear the colour of the night, haul the ashes to the mire
To the edge of the kingdom we will stand
Lament not ascensions to the light 

Take this flesh and turn it into wood 
Cast these limbs unto the hallowed earth 
And wood to stone, so I can return, as trees

Silver light, shimmer through watch for dawn 
In these woods of twilight hymns 
A silent void.....

Huge thanks to Syggefigurrer  https://soundcloud.com/skyggefigurrer

A massive thanks to my beautiful Soundcloud friends for your support and kindness. I treasure all of your comments and am eternally grateful to you. May the next year bring you all that your heart desires.

Return As Trees (feat. Skyggefigurrer)

A track that evolved from a late night jam with Martin Grafton (AKA "Arrantrax", and the other half of our "Discoteca 101" collaboration project). 
We had just finished a Discoteca 101 track, and started messing around with some sounds, Martin on his Korg Minilogue, and myself jamming with a Roland SH01A. 
Martin improvised a sequence following some notes I was playing and we just built up some more layers to build it something more structured.
Since it didn't fit the Discoteca 101 style we decided to put it out here.

Sparks is my first try at microtonality. It is also the first time I share one of my minimalistic pieces. I've always had the belief that minimalism and microtonality would be a good fit. As this was my first microtonal endeavor, I sticked to a rather familiar tuning system. I do plan to explore 31-edo next in combination with minimalism. I also have a 12-tone minimalist album in the making so stay tuned for that.


This piece is using Zheanna Erose's novemdecacimal system. Please go and check out her music here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIn6uis5duw


For those interested here is the tuning used:

Surrounding Silences (disquiet0451 )

About Folkatron Sessions - 8 musicians, 7 days and 1 experimental folk album from scratch.

‘My Son John’ is an Irish folk song first published in 1876, about the thousands of young Irishmen who became cannon fodder in the Napoleonic Wars. There are many versions of this song, including as a marching song for Irish Volunteers in World War I and a protest song against injured soldiers being cheated out of their benefits. The arrangement interprets this traditional song with a close pairing of string, electric guitar and synth textures. 

Folkatron Sessions is a band formed from the pilot Upcycled Sounds Folkatron residency where folk, jazz and electronic musicians produce and release an experimental folk record over a week. Since this 2017 pilot, the Folkatron residencies have since continued with different musicians, but this first group decided to keep playing together under the name Folkatron Sessions. They met again in 2019 to work on a second release together, Skiver, using the same residency format. An intense week was spent choosing trad tunes and songs, arranging, performing and recording them.The recording and production of each track was led by two musicians from the group . With 4 makeshift recording studios to work from, they created a total of 8 tracks and a live session.

The tunes and songs in Skiver were chosen from collaborations, travels and compositions of each musician. The album explores traditional music from Sweden to Estonia to Ireland, as well as contemporary numbers, some written by band members. As well as music, the group also exchanged techniques, with some learning production and recordings skills for the first time and others pushing their skills to experimental levels, such as using DIY hydrophone mics or recording drums through 50 metres of rubber tubing.

The result is an album with its own unique sound world, refracting trad folk through electronic, jazz, ambient, sound art and prog rock lenses.
