Pyroglyphs by whatsisname
Almost 6 years late, this was to have been my first "ambient" release, but various events conspired to delay it, and it was overtaken by Faders. Never mind. It's here now. It is more melodic (in places) than Faders, but does have its dissonant moments.
All tracks were originally recorded between August 2014 and April 2016, except for Qattara which was recorded in March 2010 and remixed 3 times between March 2012 and November 2017, and Absent which was recorded in January 2014, and remixed in September 2016.
Final remixing and mastering was performed between September 2021 and January 2023.
Genre: ambient, chillout, oriental, space, dark

Prog-Rock formed a significant part of my musical upbringing, although this collection of my creations may confuse the casual listener, and I suspect, the experienced listener equally. I note that the proportion of my ambient releases relative to my other works is slowly increasing.
