inland seas from 2 by overtone ensemble
A focused, slowly evolving sonic meditation allowing the listeners attention
to shift between detailed sonic minutiae and evolving long held drones.
Long aluminium rods (2 metres plus) were recorded as “close tuned” pairs for beating effects. Regular vibrissa instruments provide a glistening high-end sheen whilst acoustic guitar drones add harmonic richness and grit. Timpani hits add an anchoring intermittent rhythm.
David Brown aka candlesnuffer (b. 1956, Melbourne, Australia) loves toucans, mannequins, tenor guitars and guitar preparations, not to mention stomp boxes. He has developed a range of tiny sounds amplified outside their regular domain to function at rock volume. Occasionally plays a quartertone bass.
