NEW RELEASE: Into the Maelström, Vol. 1: The Tower By Night. LIVE: November 6, 2011
My new album length (66 minute) downloadable digital single Into the Maelström, Vol. 1: The Tower By Night. LIVE: November 6, 2011 is now available from CDBaby.com!
"Vol. 1: The Tower By Night" was recorded and broadcast live to listeners world-wide on Sunday, November 6th, 2011 from my studio "Ice Station Zebra" during the special "Week After Halloween" edition of my weekly online dark-ambient radio show "Nightscaping" on Stillstream.com.
It was performed and recorded entirely on my 8-string guitar in real-time with no overdubbing, with no synths, MIDI pickups, etc used. Processed field recordings captured whilst climbing inside the Assateague Lighthouse at the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge on Assateague Island, Virginia were also triggered at various key points to add chilling ambient sound-fields containing haunted distant voices and footsteps during the performance - sometimes providing a feeling of massive, ancient unearthly mechanics, within a cavernous vertical landscape.
The combined results are a sixty-six minute sonic journey through a dark, mysterious and foreboding Autumnal landscape that can be alternately darkly soothing and terrifyingly haunted.
You can purchase and download the new 66 minute single for only $2.99 USD from CDBaby.com at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/har, directly through my Purchase page, or through my new HAR-LIVE.COM website where you can also find a new promo video for the piece, the release notes and more.
