Album Notes

Most listeners who have discovered and come to know the music of Aron Kirk will already know of his remarkable ability to mirror his own feelings and emotions and filter them into the music that he composes.

the music on 'Seep' is no exception.Recorded between January and November 2007,the two long compositions contained on the album are as Kirk puts it "A somewhat futile attempt to tell the story of my whole life,from being born,to the very end".

"At first 'Seep' started out as a kind of musical experiment for my own creative outlet,but before I knew it,I had subconsciously started to turn this musical experimentation into something far more personal than I had originally intended.
Elements of my childhood,my teen years,my current life where all there hiding in the arrangements.
so then I thought,why not put the rest of my life in too,Even if that part of it is fictitious.
I suppose it's all very tongue-in-cheek really,and you have to take such things with an element of flippancy and dark humour".

'Seep' consists of two longer pieces of music 'Seep' (Part 1) 'Seep' (Part 2) and moves through a variety of moods,and musical shifts of electronica,classical,up-tempo,avant-garde and so on.

Aron Kirk is also currently working on a more 'conventional' album,which will run in a similar vein to that of his 2006 album 'Brick Circus'.

Here we have someone who can use the mind as a canvas, painting such vivid mental images,feelings and senses. A kaleidoscope journey on the the soul. Aron Kirk's work will go from strength to strength and truly deserves to be more forefront in the music world.

Following on from his previous release Brick Circus, Aron Kirk continues his intention of making music that leaves us uneasy and unsure in the EP length Seep. To this end the cover art of a mannequin with blood seeping from its ear and eye conveys a sense of unease even before listening to the music. Each of the two long form tracks run through a variety of styles and moods from mid-tempo rhythms and vocals to quiet passages comprising mainly piano. The album opens with “Seep (Part 1)”. Slightly spooky reverbing synth lines drone around as snippets of voices, a crying baby, and other noises such as running water play out in the backdrop. An experimental section with all manner of strange noises and effects then leads into a more musical rhythmic section which reminded me a little of ”Praying to the Aliens” and “Down in the Park” on Tubeway Army's electronic pop album Replicas. Eventually the piece draws to a close with a slow piano melody, and distorted sirens and voices. In the second track “Seep (Part 2)” dramatic cello like refrains mix with a kind of percussive rhythm formed by tapping on glass bottles, or something like that, and occasional electric squawks. After dropping into a pensive mood for a short time it surprisingly turns into an earnest song with a Gary Numan style vibe. All the while assorted and difficult to identify sounds chitter in the background. The vocals finish and the drama slowly falls away with the final passage being sparse piano notes against the soggy sound of falling rain. I found Seep to be the most accessible of Aron's albums so far. Undoubtedly it's weird in places but is held together by a cohesive structure, and successive listening will turn up something new each time.
