Paa Annandalii - Transhumance [2013]
Another project from Robert Thompson (Mohave Triangles, Quartz Safari, REALMS). This guy blows me away with everything he does. Some other-worldly quality. Some of the absolute best music of it's type I've ever heard. Keep a look out for this cassette on his up and coming label, which I expect huge things from.

Two good buddies. Incredible warm drones that are more complex than they may first appear.

What, indeed? thinks Snowman. When dealing with indigenous peoples, says the book in his head—a more modern book this time, late twentieth century, the voice a confident female’s—you
must attempt to respect their traditions and confine your explanations
to simple concepts that can be understood within the contexts of
their belief systems. Some earnest aid worker in a khaki jungle outfit,
with netting under the arms and a hundred pockets. Condescending
self-righteous cow, thinks she’s got all the answers. He’d known girls
like that at college. If she were here she’d need a whole new take on indigenous.
“I was telling him,” says Snowman, “that you ask too many
questions.” He holds his watch to his ear. “And he’s telling me that if
you don’t stop doing that, you’ll be toast.”
“Please, oh Snowman, what is toast?”
Another error, Snowman thinks. He should avoid arcane metaphors.
“Toast,” he says, “is something very, very bad. It’s so bad I can’t even
describe it. Now it’s your bedtime. Go away.”
“What is toast?” says Snowman to himself, once they’ve run off. Toast is when
you take a piece of bread—What is bread? Bread is when you take some
flour—What is flour? We’ll skip that part, it’s too complicated. Bread
is something you can eat, made from a ground-up plant and shaped like a
stone. You cook it… Please, why do you cook it? Why don’t you just eat
the plant? Never mind that part—Pay attention. You cook it, and then you
cut it into slices, and you put a slice into a toaster, which is a
metal box that heats up with electricity—What is electricity? Don’t
worry about that. While the slice is in the toaster, you get out the
butter—butter is a yellow grease, made from the mammary glands of—skip
the butter. So, the toaster turns the slice of bread black on both sides
with smoke coming out, and then this “toaster” shoots the slice up into
the air, and it falls onto the floor…
“Forget it,” says Snowman. “Let’s try again.” Toast was a
pointless invention from the Dark Ages. Toast was an implement of
torture that caused all those subjected to it to regurgitate in verbal
form the sins and crimes of their past lives. Toast was a ritual
item devoured by fetishists in the belief that it would enhance their
kinetic and sexual powers. Toast cannot be explained by any rational
means.
Toast is me.
I am toast.

Fennel - A Leap Across A Chasm [2010]

My buddy Franciscus is a true artist and one of the few people whose taste in ambient/drone I fully trust. Over the past few years we have sent our doodles and ideas back and forth, and it's been a pleasure to watch his techniques and style grow. This release is his first full length dive into ambient music, and it is professional as well as exceptional. As he finished his last semester at UCSB in Mathematics, Franciscus was overcome with nostalgia and decided to create an album to pay homage to his years on campus. Various field recordings from the area are accompanied by hums and swells, creating a tranquil and smooth album. A sound that is not too far from something Fennesz would do, yet original in its own way.
1: Fluid Boundary / Radiant Yellow, Humid Green (7:18)
2: Hollow Reverie (3:29)
3: Twilit Bioswales (4:44)
4: Windswept Chaparral / Fluid Boundary 2 (9:39)
5: Fabricating Memories (7:18)
6: Zona Glacialis (6:03)
