about

Drone music is interesting if you can't figure out where the different elements come from, and it is even better if you hear things that happen ‘between the tracks'.

60's Minimal Music composers like Riley, Glass, or Reich were experimenting with such effects by extreme repetition and orchestral multilayering. When Brian Eno created his 'Music For Airports', he intended to find a new form of music, neither addicted to Classical nor Pop music. Lou Reed's 'Metal Machine Music' explored the raw power of distorted guitar and feedback, ignoring the formalities of any music heard before.

When Simon and me were recording Milhaven's 'Bars Closing Down' LP, we were sitting right between these guys playing as loud as possible, and our ears kept ringing even hours later. I was surprised missing many of these sounds when I listened to the recordings afterwards.

Sometimes it is the volume that creates certain overtones, but if you zoom very, very close into the music, you may find similar effects. That's what I did on this album.

Thanks to all folks that i was able to work with (check Wixel, Item, Jasmin and Tupolev), and especially Milhaven for inspiration, Andrey Kiritchenko of Nexsound for the lovely remix and Isao at ON-LI for hosting the tracks.
