about

Mini Album. Kraut folk prog folk drone instrumental. Made at Home.

"In the spring of 2010 my partner and I went to Egypt. I packed my bags with Camus, Vonnegut and Huxley. I packed my ears with Agitation Free, Can and Bobby Beausoleil among others. We sailed down the Nile, basking in the African sun. The speed at which we travelled directly informs this music, fast enough to realise motion, slow enough to observe everything. I wanted to create a kind of Folk / Krautrock hybrid. Some of it sounds kinda folky, some of it kinda Krauty. Three long instrumentals. The first, "Open/Winter", is the third of three versions I recorded. It started out as a solo guitar piece which I then elaborated with some Organ and Theremin sounding slide. "Dendrenthema" is a fleshed out reworking of an earlier song and is probably the most German inspired music here. "Throbbing Cosmic Wound" was a joy to record. After a picnic by a river, my partner helped me create a 15 minute drone which I then attached to a long folk piece. It's a trip. The artwork was a picture I took in the nature reserve behind my house. The upturned train tracks represent the end of the conceptual line for the music which had no pre-determined destination. It's three long spacey instrumental songs in half an hour. Dig it or don't." - Stephen Benson.
