about

For those into their doom, sludge, atmospheric, black metal, drums and bass with synth and unexpected experimental electronic sounds, I hope you will come and sit down with The Owl and Dan Clarke in the room for 46 minutes and listen to this album. Headphones highly recommended for a proper trip.

It was born from one afternoon of improvisation, and then just over 18 months of work to arrange, add more layers and try to make it sound less like one microphone in a room and more like something grand to lose yourselves inside, or just have a good dance to!

Part 1 came out in November 2021, and I've been working on and off on this continuation ever since! It steps into different territory with the addition of synths as well, for an even more cosmic trip.

The Owl - Bass, synth, noise, arrangement
Dan Clarke - Drums, photography

Entirely improvised: June 20th, 2021, at Eiger Studios, Leeds
Recorded live with just a Zoom H1 Recorder.
Demolition and reconstruction work went on until January 8th 2023

Tiny clip from original jam (of 1855 Overture). I had kept the whole session, to make a visual for this part, but my laptop got stolen with it on before I had chance to back it up properly, but, glad there is a little of the visual from it. Proper good day that!

/////

Me and Dan have jammed a lot over the last 11 years or so. Mainly in Sloth Hammer (approximately 60 live outings and on two studio sessions (both settings of which are all completely improvised)), and also a few times for a project called Mother Nature Versus Father Time which did several improvised demo recordings and structured gigs.

This recording in June 2021 was our first jam together in 20 months since the last Sloth Hammer gig before the world went into lockdown.

Please bear in mind this is all just 'live in a practice room', recorded as one layer into a small recorder laid on the floor between the drumkit and my bass cab, then tons of mixing, layers, noises and synths added afterwards. I made a mistake of putting it onto a hard surface, and so you hear some bass vibrations during this. Hopefully it adds to the atmosphere and feeling of being enveloped in heavy vibrations!

Thank you to those who step in with an open mind and ears, and let the sounds and ideas take you on an swirly ambient doom driven riff journey with plenty of unexpected twists, turns and departures from normality and the initial route to investigate what is hidden around some unusual corners.

I am immensely proud of this one and how it all now sounds (hence me also releasing it on Owlripper).
