Album Notes

Source material is comprised exclusively of processed samples and loops derived from classical vinyl records, and choral, mellotron and piano recordings. Recorded July - October 2009.


Critiques:

"Offers a fascinating, highly cinematic ambient travelogue of loops, drone and textural pads with a strong organic rim. 'Gramophone Transmissions' is rather unusual but well-rendered ambient headphone music for those looking and cherishing the beauty hidden in remote expansiveness. "
-Bert Strolenberg, Sonic Immersion.

"Edge-of-dusk drones built out of samples from old vinyl records and loops from mellotron, piano and more skulk their way through the bleak landscape of Gramophone Transmissions, an excellent new release from a strong dark talent."
-John Shanahan, Hypnagogue.

"Gramophone Transmissions mines the surreal territories somewhere between Leyland Kirby and William Basinski, evoking musical memory through harmonies sustained and overlapped, and melodies whose contours have been worn smooth from forgetfulness and decay. "
-Caleb Dupree, Furthernoise.org.

"This record is like traveling forward in time just to find a great grey desert, littered with remnants of our world, a silent place where only the ghost of sounds from the past can be heard..."
-Hærleif Langås of Northaunt
