about

A collection of 3 pieces in which I have attempted to create a sustained mood whilst explicitly avoiding any change in dynamics. It is essentially drone music, something I have done a lot of over the years but with this record I was coming at the drone from a different angle and with a different intent. The drones here are not a bed for musical improvising, they do not start in one place and finish in another, they are an attempt at stasis, warm saturated snapshots of moments in particular places at particular and never to be repeated times.
Track 1, 'Whangaimoana', was recorded on a stormy day in a shack by the sea when the weather was too wild to go fishing.
Track 2, 'Pines', was recorded in a small house in the middle of a pine plantation on a windy afternoon.
Track 3, 'Æther', was recorded at my home in Wellington staring out the window into the depths of a blue sky.

I collected video footage at each location and a CD and DVD set will be available on www.pseudoarcana.com January 2015.
