Originally released on Audio. Visuals. Atmosphere. https://audiovisualsatmosphere.com October 5th, 2018 (AVA62, C57, Edition of 55). 

From the original press release: 

A manifold of hypnagogic frames balancing wind, wave and star. Symmetric pearl timbres touch the seams of the three-dimensional world. 

Volcanic sound transcending its temporal limits, only to be found at the rim of the pyramid. As the wheel turns the balance is attached to the crescentic stone and snow-covered ridges. Sustained pitches acknowledge the spectral phenomena carved in chroma rooms. The mesa of the moon drains diffused energy as pastoral currents break the ocean’s vector.

NORDVARGR 'Pyrrhula' LP (CSR98LP)

We are proud to announce a special vinyl edition of the Black Ambient masterpiece from Nordvargr (Mz.412). "Pyrrhula", is one of our most requested albums, and was originally released on CD by Cold Spring in 2008. This 2021 edition has been restored from the original masters, and further refined for the vinyl format.

Ltd x 500 copies on pale amber vinyl with artwork based on the original concept by Abby Helasdottir. Comes with exclusive artcard when bought directly from us.

Partly based on an old Swedish folktale, Pyrrhula ("doomlord") is a pitch black journey into utter darkness. This is a tale of foreboding doom... a portent of dark times to come... a blight on the face of this earth. These eight Black Ambient / Doom / Droneworks were brought forth from the abyss of Villa Bohult exclusively for Cold Spring and contain the malevolent vocals of Lord Nordvargr himself!

"Beware the small creatures of light, they only bring misery and death upon the enlightened ones. For they will paint their breast with blood and reap your unborn angels."

Also released in celebration of this edition:

'Pyrrhula' T-Shirt - Black Fruit Of The Loom Heavy Cotton t-shirt with front and back print. Bundle available.

Drift is a free fall album consisting of three compositions invoking a sense of hovering expansion. Deeply spacious yet tightly compacted sound movements create holding patterns that slowly shift and evolve.

Cycles fall in and out of sync while atmospheres envelope time, appearing on the periphery before being subsumed back into space. The compositions utilize modified alto saxophone with spring reverb attachment, synthesizers, percussion, field recordings and electronic processing.

The saxophone is played with an acoustic spring reverberation preparation to produce multiple feedback tones, pitch beating and metallic distortion. Using sampling and pitch shifting techniques, the instrument and its presence of breath act as the glue that binds the pieces.

Remo Seeland’s “Hollow Body” is a suspenseful exploration of the interaction between sound environments and individual perception. It was sparked by an intense physical experience the Swiss artist had during a residency in New York City. “The subway became a sort of ‘atonal symphony’ for me, provoking a full-body experience with the rattling of the overcrowded, airless trains,” the Hallow Ground founder explains. “However, while the old subway is not exactly beloved by everyone, it also represented for me the melancholic meta-level of the moloch above it.” The album, his first under his given name, makes this disparity audible over six tracks in which the visceral and the personal become at once abstract and universal. 

Based on field recordings from both urban and rural environments, “Hollow Body” aims to mirror another of Seeland’s psychosonic encounters. “In the highlands of Iceland, I noticed my pulse lowering and my breathing decelerating,” he says. “Just shortly after that, a single insect’s buzzing seemed so loud to me that I became even more aware of the silence surrounding me.” Silence, perception, order and the curious dialectics of the outside world and the inner workings of the human psyche are the central questions of “Hollow Body”.

Recorded in New York, Reykjavík and Zurich, “Hollow Body” draws extensively on field recordings and sees Seeland collaborating with Hallow Ground-affiliated artists Norman Westberg (Swans, guitar on “Body Innovation” and “Hollow City”) and Reinier van Houdt (Current 93, e-bowed guitar on “Hollow City” and Rhodes organ on “Pulse Points Green”), as well as the Swiss-based US-American musician Steve Fors (Deaf At Sea, trombone on “Second Coming”). The diversity of the source material is mirrored in the stylistic richness Seeland lays out with this LP. From the lush, bass-heavy drones of the opener “Body Innovation” to the downbeat-driven “Second Coming” and, finally, the haunting organ sounds of “Night Within”, “Hollow Body” forms a holistic entity that integrates idiosyncratic compositions into a coherent narrative.

“Hollow Body” was also conceptually inspired by Seeland’s research as a cultural scientist with a focus on Southeast Asian cultures, specifically the anomic tantric cults of India. It thus serves as a mediator between not only the individual experience of site-specific sounds and general ideas of sound production in and about space, but also between different compositional techniques ranging from drones to synthesized vocals and more primitive forms of ritualistic music. Its sonic abundancy is to be understood as a direct result of its underlying idea: at its most challenging, this record also makes the most coherent statements about the order of space, sound and their cryptic relationship with the human body.

The first part of Hans-Joachim Roedelius' Selbstportrait (Self-Portrait) series was originally released under the title 'Sanfte Musik' on Sky Records in 1979. Now, some forty years later, a new instalment has arrived in the form of an album entitled 'Wahre Liebe'
