Wh114 The Nature of Light – Atropos

C.P. McDill — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 23:20:43 +0000

Shimmering, dark, haunted and textural, these guitar-centered soundscapes expertly straddle the zone between abstract ambience and melody.

From the artist:

“Atropos has been in the works for some time. The album was originally never going to be released. We then decided under a different moniker… but scratched that and decided to release it under The Nature of Light. This album is the culmination of absolute and pure experimentation and many instanced of the recording are of questionable perfection. The ENTIRE album was created from three organic stringed instruments. Coupled with creative and exotic useage of effects.

The entire album was recorded with a Yamaha Bass, a Gibson Les Paul Custom and a Fender Standard American Strat. ALL of the sounds were birthed from playing, hitting, screaming into the pickups, touching the output jack and other various methods of coercing sound. All of the sounds started life as an organic and analog source.

We are all fascinated with effects and how to use them unconventionally… so we fused the two worlds of organic and electronic and this is the result. An album composed of dark, brittle and destructed textures… from the warmth of the real.

You will hear passages of darkness, of beauty… Some that are cold and some that are soothing. Some will be epic, while others simple. Some of the audio does not sound like it could have ever been guitar… but we assure, that at some point in their life… they were.

We hope you enjoy listening to this.

Some words from the artist:
Seemingly familiar, the shores beckon and beg to meet you again…
How many times before have you been on these beaches?
Perhaps this is your first visit, or perhaps this is your life cycle…
A circle, ongoing…the shores have no end, and they wait…endlessly for your return…
Our time has come around once more…and I have waited a lifetime for you…
In these moments, I sit and smile at a rather striking concept…
The sounds heard here have been heard before, and as always, will be heard again my dear…
In this life, and the next, as the ones before and after…I will wait, on these sandy beaches…
My hand out, heart open and eyes closed…for you…my love, my lover, my Jupiter…

Thanks:
First and foremost, to everyone who has supported this project by whatever means you have.

Kimberly: You truly are five feet of inspiration. This album speaks what I do not (even though that isn’t much), it is the language of my soul. I know you hear it well.
C.P. McDill: For support, conversation and faith in what we make.
Rob: Your feet are big, but you make us sound bomb.
