Nuclear Holocaust

The Horse Loom I’ve been rolling this around and around in my mind for a while. It’s as if 4AD were running the torture test for SAS selection. The sense that something threatening is being prepared for you in another room. Uncannily like the inside of my mind in a crowd. Each track carries weight in isolation. The whole collection is even heavier. Superb. I may not be able to cope with a live performance!!

about

Initially created for an installation Nuclear Holocaust is an auditory dance with annihilation, chemical weaponry and a fragmented new world order.

Texturised guitar opens building layers of disconnected white noise without the use of pedals or effects to create a dissonant sense of what could be, what is worth to be preserved and what can be recovered. No equipment could be utilised, so form was chosen as tape, of which frays could potentially endure.

Created on a 4 track, all analogue sounds imagine chemical fire clouds, intermittent signalling and a disorienting sense of life without air. Closing into a final melody that explores a new form without finding resolution or solace.

Recorded September 2015
