wh049 spoonPhase – Nightmare

C.P. McDill — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 00:50:26 +0000

“Nightmare” is a 76-minute dark ambient composition by spoonPhase. Carried along by ectoplasmic bass through a place vast and unlit, you perceive great presences in the distance, huge things passing, while hovering nearby are strange small creatures which occasionally mumble and titter in your ear.

Length: 01:15:58 Produced and recorded by spoonPhase (Sam Hodge), 2005.

Sam Hodge, the principal talent behind spoonPhase, has released several albums on Webbed Hand, and was also featured on “To Ancient Noise: A Webbed Hand Compilation” [wh024] as thE sounD of dirT. This is his sixth Webbed Hand release.

wh044 spoonPhase – Falling

C.P. McDill — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 03:16:10 +0000

“Falling” is a word which can be applied both literally and metaphorically. And in both senses, there is a kind of terminal velocity that one reaches after falling for long enough. What if there is no bottom? Would you get so used to descending that it feels like being still?

This recording is a 42-minute dark ambient soundscape, which resulted from extending and remixing a track of the same name which appears on spoonPhase’s Songs for Psychos, part two.

wh041 spoonPhase – Rain 1

C.P. McDill — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 03:34:40 +0000

The Rain series has at last a contribution from spoonPhase. This recording takes you into the vast cavernous spaces of your mind, where the rhythms of nature are quietly performed by the elements and sightless creatures of the deep.

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.

wh040 spoonPhase – Messy Messy Messy

C.P. McDill — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 04:01:10 +0000

This album follows the trajectory of a messy life from birth, through highs and lows, and ultimately into a strange place. It’s a story, the autobiography of a shattered soul. Many genres of electronic music meet in this album, and the vocal element is at times both dark and whimsical. This is a great production with a big sound.

wh034 spoonPhase – Songs for Psychos pt 1

C.P. McDill — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 00:25:19 +0000

Songs for Psychos, part one initiates spoonPhase’s artistic exploration of a shattered mind. With equal parts darkness and whimsy, these compositions meander through the corridors of the mind with a music that at times seems like lullabyes or serenades, and at other times like mockery and deconstruction.

This is great headphone music, given the artist’s talent for creating a sense of spatial arrangement within the music, but a mischievous soul might also be tempted to play this in public spaces…
