wh094 Materia Confusa – Tales of Adventure
Materia Confusa returns to Webbed Hand with another pair of Musique Concrete compositions inspired, as the title implies, by the adventures that excited earlier generations of youth.
wh093 Drone Wallah – Owl and Rooster
“Owl and Rooster” are long-form ambient melodic (organ) drone compositions by Drone Wallah (C.P. McDill of Saluki Regicide, Djinnestan, etc). Nice all-purpose drone pieces you can play quietly, loudly, or any way you please.
wh092 Drone Wallah – The Foggy Dew
“The Foggy Dew” is a long-form ambient melodic (organ) drone composition by Drone Wallah (C.P. McDill of Saluki Regicide, Djinnestan, etc). A nice all-purpose drone piece you can play quietly, loudly, or any way you please.
wh091 Audio Gourmet – Rusted Dreams
Audio Gourmet appears on Webbed Hand for the first time with his latest ambient offering, an EP of two tracks called “Rusted Dreams.” These soft, dreamlike soundscapes elicit imaginative reveries.
wh090 Akashic Crow’s Nest – Poste Restante
C.P. McDill kicks off 2008 with a new release from Akashic Crow’s Nest. Drones, sparkles, shimmers, vague rhythms & melodies carry the listeners on a weird introspective trip. This is good headphone music.
wh088 The Nature of Light – A Lullaby for Madisen
Webbed Hand Records welcomes in 2008 by welcoming a new artist to the label. A Lullaby for Madisen is the first album on Webbed Hand for The Nature of Light. This set of recordings is a soothing ambient journey made up of electronic, electroacoustic, and field recorded elements, blended nicely into a continuous flow.
wh087 Mystified – Through Sleep and Beyond
After a hiatus of some time Mystified returns to Webbed Hand with a new album of musique concrete soundscapes with soothing drones and subtle exotic motifs.
wh085 Marco Lucchi – The Structure of the Iki
Marco Lucchi continues his “Radure” series of conceptual releases with this fourth installment, centered on the Japanese word “iki” – a term (like the more familiar wabi-sabi) that is uniquely cultural, lacking a direct translation in our tongue. In one sense, it expresses a perception of an idealized aesthetic quality of ordinariness.
Lucchi composed a series of tracks inspired by “iki” and then recruited other artists to build onto this oeuvre with their own contributions. This release represents only a facet of that project.
wh084 Exoxen – Shiny Moon Water
EXOXEN has spent over 15 years as a home-studio tape project among a group of friends. The sound of this group may best be described as a kind of twisted lo-fi psychedelic, mingling elements of rock, electronica, and noise, in a manner reminiscent of Chrome or Helios Creed.
In 2004 Webbed Hand released the first collection of works from the EXOXEN archives to reach a wider audience, the intense “1.0.” This new collection, “Shiny Moon Water,” draws together more works from the same period, this time with less emphasis on noise and more emphasis on the psychedelic.
