The Webbed Hand “Rain” series in now graced by a contribution from Djinnestan. Much like the shorter works, this 74-minute piece is subtle and enchanted. As if in a dream you find yourself strolling in a fairytale forest, dark and misty, peopled by the figments of childhood imaginings. This album is ideal for meditation, trancework, and quiet activities. It is recommended that you play it at low volume, as it is meant to be listened to peripherally, not directly.
Skidbladni is a second, shorter release by Akashic Crow’s Nest. The concept here is dream logic, temporal dislocation, and auditory hallucination. The music is constructed entirely from the output of an image synthesizer (which turns pictures into sounds), with effects added, but no other instruments or samples.
Purr is a 76 minute ambient track intended to be played at low volume as background ambience, preferably as you go to sleep. It generates a warm and cozy feeling, like having a cat purring next to your head.
Tree Helicopter’s first hypnotic contribution to the Webbed Hand “Rain” ambient project. A 73-minute journey, sprinkled with samples and rhythms characteristic of Tree Helicopter.
A second collaboration between Mystified and Saluki Regicide. The theme of this concept EP is a pilgrimage in some distant land. The traveller, faced with strangeness, is defamiliarized and experiences mystical insight.
A collaborative album of impressionistic ambient and electronic pieces, inspired by inventions of the past. A very strong a seamless pooling of creative talent and resources. This album shows promise of becoming a favorite.
Djinnestan is the quieter spawn of Saluki Regicide. Selling the Wind is a collection of ambient constructions which have been derived from other, more “complicated” tracks among my other recording projects. It has something in common with the Rain compositions as well, in that they are mellow studies in repetition with variation, but these differ in their brevity. As a collection, they are a pleasure to listen to.
This imaginary soundtrack to a sci-fi space odyssey is a synaesthetic sound gallery in the drone/ambient tradition. Inspired by Jules Verne, Norman Spinrad, and 70s synthesizer concept albums, it’s a compelling and surprising CD.
This body of rather eclectic work by Tree Helicopter is a tribute to those who spend hours hunched over shortwave radios, trancing out to the mysteries of spy stations and distorted musics from the far corners of the unknown.
Straight-ahead, catchy, dark electronica. Good headphone music (like everything else we offer, actually). This project is a spinoff from Rolling Calf Sinfonette, with oblique and obscure sci-fi and conspiracy references sprinkled throughout.
