About the album:
Mystified and Saluki Regicide began a series of collaborations in 2004 which continue to this day. Razor Pilgrimage was the second such work, close on the heels of Ancestral Technologies.

Mystified recently revisited Razor Pilgrimage and decided to challenge C.P. McDill (Saluki Regicide) to give the work a makeover, remixing it in any way he saw fit to. The resulting approach was to examine the earlier compositional techniques of the Rain series, and approach it as an album composed in that spirit. While this album has more rhythmic energy that the typical Rain, the title nonetheless alludes to that venerable staple of the Webbed Hand catalog.

Ice Guild Kaiser is a recording project of C.P. McDill and is a sub-project of Saluki Regicide in ways that are difficult to define. Is it a variant personality, a mutation, a doppelganger, or an entirely new form of life? Still finding its way, perhaps we shall see it mature into its own person, though we are aware that the apple seldom falls far from the tree…

wh201 Ice Guild Kaiser – Rain

C.P. McDill — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 18:36:01 +0000

The cryptically familiar Ice Guild Kaiser recently emerged from his workshop with this purpose-built addition to the popular “Rain” series.

Download as Hi-quality FLAC format.

This recording is a product of Ice Guild Kaiser’s research into Webbed Hand’s venerable “Rain” series, and it bears structural similarities to the earliest releases, while showing the influence of later mutations. He acknowledges that, at heart, “Rain” is functional music, a remote descendent of so-called elevator music, easy listening, new age and other genres composed for relaxation and unfocused audition.

Rain is a series of conceptual tracks produced for Webbed Hand Records. Each “Rain” is a CD-length ambient recording ideal for quiet listening while meditating, writing, or going to sleep. Typically the recordings in this series are minimalistic soundscapes, with motifs played out cyclically rather than progressively, in order to induce relaxed states.

More work from a recording project described as “haunted head music to disturb your inner child.” Saluki Regicide was the first major project of C.P. McDill and he still considers it his primary one. It was originally most active 2003-04, then sporadically thereafter, usually in the form of collaborations and long-form works. This album signals a return to the original style of working as Saluki Regicide, and even hints at future directions.
