Liner Notes

This record is set up as a sequel to my winter synth record Frozen Valley, but also to Hell in the Clouds, an old funeral drone album I made back in 2004. Hell in the Clouds was mostly made with processed whistling, this new album uses the whistle pad on my synth for all the tracks, went beyond presets but it’s all that sample.

I feel like the impetus for making this album probably came from my visit to La Monte Young’s dream house last year, although for this album I’m getting the complex warbling by running multiple chorus effects at the same time instead of microtonality. But I couldn’t help looking towards Nurse With Wound’s Soliloquy For Lilith, William Basinski’s A Red Score in Tile, and Éliane Radigue's Trilogie de la Mort as well. For the noise part I decided to try some real sparse crackle type noise a la Dosis Letalis, and some shortwave radio noise a la John Duncan. No shortwave on the last track.

Frozen Valley is an album that I really viewed as a failure after it was released. But over the years for some reason, several people who I really respect have mentioned it to me out of the blue, saying they really get into it. This album is dedicated to them.
