This is the 3rd and final album in a 3 CD set originally released on Txt recordings by Lee Norris and Matt Hillier as 'Plank and Ishq' and continues the journey through the land of the 'Crows An Wra' and mythical landscape of cornish radiophonic oscillations and Henge like vista's. Surfice to say its a fairly odd work at times, at other times light and floaty like a cornish opiate cream tea and dream like, detached, we cant use that word enough. The music was conjured from a mental space of freeform experimentation and fluid like acts of non conformity. It suits late night headphone excursions well and is its own work, something different and one for the collection, unique and a genuine work of art in some respects maybe as its uncontrived and seeks to just exist for its own sake.
This is the 2nd of a 3 disk CD set on Txt recordings of free form psychedelic inspired soundscapes and ambient pieces by Lee Norriss and Matt Hillier and Plank and Ishq and written in free form creative space.
The music and ambience harks back to the old days of 90's free form music where nothing was planned and the sonic worlds flowed out of the speakers. Its 'free music' for headphone tweakers, not written to impress or be perfect, not wrtten to be 'the best work', it was created to exist and paint a picture in a detached way and a colourfull one. Its what it is and unique and thats enough to warrant its existance.
Crows An Wra is the 1st in a 3 album collection of free form psychedelic inspired soundscapes and ambient pieces written in an experimental live flow using various studio exotica. Unique , colourfull with hidden layers and worlds of sound this music was written for deep immersive headphone listeners and people who like to float in mind space.
Spring Light is the 3rd release in a series of 4 albums which started with Autumn and Winter Light and will finish with Summer Light.
Spring Light was inspired by a series of spontanoeus sketches made using 'Bloom' the software app by Brian eno and Peter Chilvers. These sketches were then pushed further into time and space and began to take on the form of the final work as hidden layers and sounds were added and embellishments made and resynthesis began to take effect.
As with Autumn and Winter Light the album and soundscape is largely pastoral or inspired by the local landscape down here in Cornwall but also delves deeper into local mythology and other magical aspects of the area drawing the the Genii loci or spirit of the land in larger measure to inspire and empower the work…
"Winter Light" by Ishq is a reworked and granulated extended long form soundscape using elements of "Autumn Light" mixed with field recordings, sub sonic telemetry and subliminal harmonics and recordings to create a drifting drawn and deeply sedative ambient work.
