about

It immediately became obvious, when I got down to mixing this session, that the resulting release was going to be a really scary one! And by that I mean: intense, on the edge and powerful. almost disturbingly vivid. Obviously I was going to have to be choosy about what to use and what to discard. There were a lot of sections in the original session where we either languished or stormed on one level, some of use, some not, I chose the best moments, and also isolated all the best pieces that seemed to flow as "compositions" - sprucing up, splicing and editing where necessary, ending up with a tight 40 minute album, after which I reorganised the tracks adding some special effects, reverse and pitch shifted collages, and ended up with what feels like a 51 minute suite (of individual tracks) with pauses.
And, no - we weren't at all inspired by H.P. Lovecraft or H.R. Giger, well-known for their works called "Necronomicon" (nor Sam Raimi's "Evil Dead") as the idea for title came later!

Triax image

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
