Aliens Are Real

It was submitted as a demo by the artist, who wishes to remain anonymous due to their involvement with a low-profile religious organization.

scree
Scree is two heaving slabs of feral tone from Heavy Cloud, inspired by the immense natural forces at work on the Cornish coastline. Tidal waves and searing sunlight batter and erode, crack and burn the ever shifting topography of the country’s precarious fringe over 21 minutes of processed heavy electronics. Scree is a pair of noise ‘landscrapes’ in-spirited by the Cornish coastline, formed over time from eroding loops and voices, processed field recordings and found sounds. Heavy Cloud observes…
Vessels
"I could smell the curves of the river beyond the dusk and I saw the last light supine and tranquil upon tide-flats like pieces of broken mirror, then beyond them lights began in the pale clear air, trembling a little like butterflies hovering a long way off." - William Faulkner.

Music For A Tennis Match
*50 copies limited edition* It's a known fact, that while in exile in Los Angeles Arnold Schoenberg spent most of his free time playing tennis in his garden with family and friends, finding solace under the Californian sun. A soundscape – truly cinema for the ears, not just sound objects arranged into a narrative, but a very strong narration in sound, masterfully attained by separating the layers in such a way that different moods are laid on top of each other, with their intrinsic references an…
Requiem for a Dying Animal
In outer space, music does not exist. Only in a thin layer of atmosphere, wrapped around the planet earth, humans can live and breathe. With all their power and creativity, they have exploited and eradicated an unspeakable amount of fellow animal beings. As Arvo Pärt once put it: also with music, you can kill – because with music, you touch the medium of life, the air itself. In this sense, music is not condemned to express the inner life of homo sapiens. Instead, humans are affected by music, b…

Images
Tip! *100 copies limited edition* Colin Andrew Sheffield's "Images" was entirely constructed from heavily edited and manipulated samples from jazz records. These eight electroacoustic mosaics range in style from lush ambient loops to jarring tones like the wails of the damned. Chopped drum solos appear and retreat along with spiraling piano fragments; saxophone and trumpet scraps clash or fall in time with disfigured bass rumblings, etcetera. These song-length explorations are detailed, atmosphe…
