about

No sounds in this recording have been repitched, resampled or rhythmically sequenced.
All sounds appear as they (un)naturally appear around us.

A meditation on and reckoning with the frequencies that we have given governance over our lives, yet are just beyond our narrow sensory field.

An anthropocentric view would be that this is a kind of 'aether music', but I'd like to concede that our fortuitous biology does not define the sonic 'real'.
Some frequencies in this recording are naturally occurring throughout the cosmos (and have been heterodyned into our hearing range) but most are created by us with complex formulas to govern their encoding and interpretation.
These are too ever-present to act as if they exist in some ethereal otherworld.

Add this piece to the noise already surrounding and passing through you.

"It was as the sound of a far-off glorious life, a supernal life, which came down to us, and vibrated the lattice-work of this life of ours."

Observed, gathered and assembled by Mitchell J.G. Reynolds from December 2020 to September 2021.
Produced at the Reservoir Institute of Natural Sound & Electronics Development, on Wurundjeri country.
Sferics recorded from Lake Mungo and Hattah-Kulkyne National Park.
Mastered by Joseph Buchan.

Autechre and this album are the reasons why I recently started to look into electronica. All of these songs have something dark and artful about them. The last one is rather upbeat. Not really danceable unless you like dextrose too much. tr_🇺🇦

In the music of Paul Jordan, digitally manipulated field recordings become striking electronic songs that feel eerie and surreal. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 7, 2020
