Six years in the making, this album explores the contemporary drone through many methods and in various forms. Tracks vary from field recordings (“Roadworks”) to compositions for viola and oscillator (“Transfixed In Her Stare”). Percussion, electric guitar, organ, and bullroarer all play their part.

This short field recording was included on an idiosyncratic collection of sixteen similarly brief pieces, entitled 1 Minute Autohypnosis Sex War Noise Faith White Truth Light Europe Death Seed Red Net. This CD came in a transparent sleeve, adorned with mailing addresses and a bonus credit card with which can use to purchase karma, or perhaps faith, or maybe noise.
