Surface by Mr. Fist
A collection of three longish ambient/atmospheric recordings representing something of a journey from bleakness to beauty.
Credits
released July 30, 2008
Composed, performed and produced by Stephen Ugo Rosin at Blood 'n' Tongue, Vancouver, July, 2008.
Remastered for digital release in June, 2010.
The set begins with "Breath", built on a field recording of walking along a gravel trail. Sounds of motorcycles swirl around the traveller as crusty old theatre organ music is sucked from its vinyl source through a vortex of digital manipulation. A disembodied voice from a 70's Yoga instructional record feebly attempts to offer guidance to the traveller
Next, "Tracks" takes the traveller on a passenger train along the North West coast of Washington state. A deep subsonic electronic pulse lurks in the lower realms while washes of a warehouse air vent and a vinyl sourced Dutch band organ drift about the mix.
Finally, "Feathers" allows the traveller to arrive at a peaceful backyard garden. Birds chirp pleasantly while an electric bass guitar burrows aimlessly through the earth. An absent minded acoustic guitar wanders around with a vinyl sourced religious whistler and theatre organ drifting about the air.
