Well, that melting glacier got me thinking about the Arctic again. I didn't realize that I already had some albums saved from Glacial Movements plus some other newer albums I want to get. Here's one of those oldies.
Notes
Composed, performed, recorded by Aidan Baker, January 2013 at Broken Spine Studios, Berlin, Germany. All sounds produced by acoustic 12-string guitar.
ps- a really interesting morning of reflection. Now, it's light enough to go pick slugs in the garden. Here's todays rotation.
Well, another pretty successful hunt, unfortunately, but a great sunny day in the garden. Time to chill it down a bit. Some old... Rapoon - Time Frost
Mixed and composed July 2007.
Limited to 750 copies, comes in a digipak.
"One of the predicted swings in the weather due to global warming is paradoxically a new ice age which could envelope Europe. Time Frost is music based upon this concept and uses tiny fragments of music from an iconic European composition, Johann Strauss's Blue Danube. I imagined that tiny pieces of former cultures survived locked in the ice and waiting for future archaeologists to discover and interpret them.I used vinyl lock grooves of the Blue Danube (from the 1968 MGM recording for the film soundtrack 2001 ) These formed the starting points for the five compositions in Time Frost which were then manipulated and added to and re-arranged into new compositions. Time Frost is an imaginary recording of the mutational process of sound locked into ice and transformed over millenia. Like ghosts of music trapped in an evershifting permafrost.
Robin Storey, August 2007"
Ps- Pretty chilly indeed! Thanks!! Terrific stereo, kept floating around the room.
Buried deep beneath the ice lies Armageddon Locked in a frozen world it waits There are songs and myths of the coming end The voices are raised in supplication to gods and nature A cold wind howls The ice slowly melts Without understanding of time It waits This is my song from the end of the world
Released in limited edition digipack cd. Robin Storey, 2016
Dan Joseph Ensemble: Dan Joseph (hammer dulcimer); Tom Chiu (violin), Loren Dempster (cello); Marija Ilic (harpsichord); Leah Paul (flute); Danny Tunick (percussion). Special guest Thomas Buckner (baritone).
Soriah:
Vocals, Igil, Doshpuluur, Zither, Doumbek and other hand percussion,
Aztec Clay Flute and Native American Cedar Flutes, Bells, Stones and
Sticks. Ashkelon Sain: Keyboards, Acoustic and Electric Guitars, Electric Bass, Bells, Electronic Drums. Nachyn Choduu: Tuvan Guitar on "Amochantzinco."
"Soriah's
virtuoso Tuvan throat-singing, Central Asian stringed instruments and
hand percussion is perfectly melded with the neo-ancient airs of
Ashkelon Sain's exquisite darkwave guitars, celestial electronics, and
hypnotizing poly-rhythms. Eztica has its roots in the ceremonial:
ritualism, shamanism, butoh. It is a deeply organic experience, the
voice drawing out the primordial spell, touching the earth, reaching for
the sky. Captivating percussive sections with driven vocals glide
effortlessly across windswept steppes, while otherworldly overtones hang
like clouds in a frosted mountain range, all amid deep expanses of
slowly shifting, mesmerizing tones. And when the Quetzalcoatl Kundalini
of Soriahs lyrical throat singing fires down the spine, everything goes
astral. . . . . ."
Recorded Live at the Katabatik Stage at the 13th Autonomous Mutant
Festival deep in the Umpqua Forest of Southern Oregon, this amazing
performance needed to be released inspite of it's high distortion
levels. I consider it an appropriate effect.
Comments

Locked in a frozen world it waits
There are songs and myths of the coming end
The voices are raised in supplication to gods and nature
A cold wind howls
The ice slowly melts
Without understanding of time
It waits
This is my song from the end of the world

Oh ! . . . so that's what AR 15 is.
No, we can't have those.
Brand new album by these distinguished gents
There are so many easy choices for 16, 17, 18, and 19, but I couldn't think of any for 15 (except quinceañera songs, of course...)
