about

Petrified wood (from the Greek root petro meaning "rock" or "stone"; literally "wood turned into stone") is the name given to a special type of fossilized remains of terrestrial vegetation. It is the result of a tree or tree-like plants having completely transitioned to stone by the process of permineralization. All the organic materials have been replaced with minerals (mostly a silicate, such as quartz), while retaining the original structure of the stem tissue.

Well, that was the concept of what this music sounded like, and thus I went in search of images, in particular a local lightning tree that's turning to stone! Of course "Petrified" can also mean so frightened that one is unable to move - and this is quite sonically "scary" I guess. Tons of analogue electronics and live sound reconstruction on this one, and more of those spooky organ mutations from Dave. In all, a very different sonically frazzled Triax!

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
