about

More soundtracks to limbo, stasis & suspension....in this case, the grinding halt of a broken wrist, the physical restrictions of doing things onehanded or not at all, the slow process of allowing the body to heal. Coming to terms with not being able to play guitar, maybe for months, maybe not ever. A murk of maybes. Needing some kind of creative outlet, I once again pillaged my archives to stitch these textural patchworks together out of various old bits.

Ear Am Eye, A Forest For Dreams and The Wrong Chord continue the kind of freefloating loopish liminalist driftscapes I began exploring on the Red Tape Bardo albums, Occupy Your Mind and even Down On The Farm.

Abstrak Construk is a kind of asymmetric dub meander, while the title track is the most rhythmic interlude, bubbling around a bass & djembe loop and a thick muted organ riffing over the top like an old blanket.

The finale (or imagined Side B) is the epically ponderous, opiatic jazz-noirish slo-mo Spatial Interrelational Blues (Return Of The Orifi). Featuring reconstituted recordings of didjeridu and trumpet (the Orifi - both instruments being holes you blow air through), supported by various other looped samples, and everything slowed to a snail's snore.....my favourite tempo...
