On this very heavy Halloween night, the great UK label Sombre Soniks releases an album that I’ve made together with Akoustik Timbre Frekuency. It’s called Heated Wanderlust and contains one single flow of gong based drones and some percussive elements. On top of this, or possibly inside it, I read some poetry and texts from the past years.
I have to say that it’s one of the most rewarding projects I’ve ever worked on. I sent ATF my audio files with recorded poems and that was it. An easy task. But I was so overwhelmed when I started receiving rough mixes of my voice together with his truly beautiful music. It all really works well together. Although the texts are not interrelated at all, they make some kind of new sense here in this dark flow of musical emotions.
This project is, I think, a kind of externalized manifestation of processes that have been going on inside the Cotton Ferox machine/beast for quite some time. I’ve been doing more and more “spoken word” things live with Cotton Ferox/Thomas Tibert recently, and I can definitely foresee that carrying on. Heated Wanderlust is something completely different yet somehow related.
Many thanks to Priapus XXIII of ATF for dragging me into this lovely soundscape and project!
You can listen to the album and download it HERE! Enjoy!
