Haunted textures of sound are served forth in classic Djinnestan style in this unexpected EP release. Do ghosts relive their dying moments? Do they have unfinished business, or messages for the living? Without explaining the concept of this album, I shall leave you to infer what you can from the track titles and a close […]

wh028 Djinnestan - Rain 1
September 26th, 2007 · No Comments
The Webbed Hand “Rain” series in now graced by a contribution from Djinnestan. Much like the shorter works, this 74-minute piece is subtle and enchanted. As if in a dream you find yourself strolling in a fairytale forest, dark and misty, peopled by the figments of childhood imaginings. This album is ideal for meditation, trancework, […]

wh021 Akashic Crow’s Nest - Skidbladni
September 19th, 2007 · No Comments
Skidbladni is a second, shorter release by Akashic Crow’s Nest. The concept here is dream logic, temporal dislocation, and auditory hallucination. The music is constructed entirely from the output of an image synthesizer (which turns pictures into sounds), with effects added, but no other instruments or samples.

wh016 Djinnestan - Selling the Wind
September 14th, 2007 · No Comments
Djinnestan is the quieter spawn of Saluki Regicide. Selling the Wind is a collection of ambient constructions which have been derived from other, more “complicated” tracks among my other recording projects. It has something in common with the Rain compositions as well, in that they are mellow studies in repetition with variation, but these differ […]

wh015 Akashic Crow’s Nest - The Void Captain’s Tale
September 13th, 2007 · No Comments
This imaginary soundtrack to a sci-fi space odyssey is a synaesthetic sound gallery in the drone/ambient tradition. Inspired by Jules Verne, Norman Spinrad, and 70s synthesizer concept albums, it’s a compelling and surprising CD.

wh014 Tree Helicopter - Moon Calf
September 12th, 2007 · No Comments
This body of rather eclectic work by Tree Helicopter is a tribute to those who spend hours hunched over shortwave radios, trancing out to the mysteries of spy stations and distorted musics from the far corners of the unknown.
