Atavistic retreat

Elechon [part 2]

A subtle atmospheric soundtrack piece.

It's got this peaceful vibe but also a note of anxious urgency underneath. We can perceive 10 million shades of green because we are predators. I wanted to present a more complex pastoral picture, nature as it truly is - an endless recycling of the suns energy. That, I believe, is the true interpretation of the celtic concept of reincarnation. The beauty is the efficiency and strangeness of the system, not some imagined rural ideal. That is my understanding of the divine.

Hand-crafted soundscapes and nocturnal noise...

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ~ Aldous Huxley

All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it. ~ Jean Cocteau

All music is beautiful. ~ Billy Strayhorn

I've become addicted to drone. Again. I was the kid with his head on the piano, listening to the overtones die away, or pressing his ear to the steel hull of the ferry, enthralled by the sounds it created. I was the kid who formed wordless songs to accompany the sound of train wheels on a long journey, or hummed along with the fan on a hot day.

In the 60s I used to play my 45s on 16, or backwards, or by hand using razor blades as stylii.

I made cut-up tapes on a cheap cassette recorder in the 70s and experimented with reel-to-reel in the 80s. 

Thank you Subotnick, Lygeti, Coltrane, Jimi, Mimaroglu, Eno, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle...

I am not a musician. I am a scavenger of sounds. I use the most basic software to process those sounds, stretching and filtering until something emerges that makes a joyful noise. Or not...

Sometimes I have a story in mind, see the structure in advance. Sometimes the sounds take over and suggest their own story.
