Offkiltered by Bradfield Dumpleton
More adventures in textured monotonies....these pieces were recorded as part of the spill of ideas that also appear on the Language Systems album, all of which grew out of the more abstract moments on the "dub" trilogy (Dub An Dubberer, Dubber An Dubbererer, i!). A festering petri dish of sonic perpendicularities, all sprouting more or less around the same time..
On the other hand, these meandering musical abstractions are continuing many sonic / textural themes found throughout my recordings going back to "The Ears Have Walls"....
Each piece orbits at different cycles within itself...atmospheric excursions through musical space, improvised rhythms, crude electronics, spacejazz ignorance, driftily skewed guitar textures....constructed with a loose organic attitude inspired by the musically elastic thinking of mavericks like Sun Ra, Can, Harry Partch, Annette Peacock, Thelonious Monk, Robert Fripp and my mate Ross Douglas - not that this music is trying to emulate any of them, I just like their autistic interrogation of the creative process.
As ever, the music illustrates my Aspergers mind trying to make sense of itself through sound, cycle & atmosphere. There are moments that express fragmentation, dischord, disturbance & disintegration, but my hope is that the music still carries an overall sense of balance and enough space to find its own inner pulses & harmonies.
Probably not suitable for listening if you're very drunk or seasick, but excellent for listening on headphones in more relaxed states of being.
