about

Performed as just four sessions - that may sound like they are fragmented/shattered, blurred/dissolved, then reassembled - but basically all I did was take the eleven sections that stood up as tracks (and did the usual minor remixing and balancing of levels, plus a few cross-fades and splices, reverb tails, dynamic effects, etc, etc.) and then shuffled them into the best order. The resultant "sound pictures" range from the nightmarish through to blissfully serene, from unmusical through to strangely musical hybrids of folk (kind of) and industrial ooze, whatever it is - no one's thought of a name for it yet! All the titles are culled from a Robert Sheckley surreal sci-fi novel.

about

Triax Leicester, UK

Born out of the Extremities project, in a sense, in 2003 Triax couples Alto Stratus with the strangely processed hurdy-gurdy of Dave Powell, for a unique new hybrid. Dave added many more instruments to his repertoire since, and Triax can vary from ambient drone, via systemic, dirge and raga/folk hybrids on to psychedelic rock, Krautrock and eclectic avant-garde. ... more
