#105 - Exit To Entrance

by The Owl

/
1.
As one door closes, the other one was always open...
2.
Don't get caught unawares whilst listening for the storm coming...
3.
Awkward melodies roll around to reveal chaos blasting all over the imagination, until the aftermath lets you breathe again. This actually does get unfeasibly loud, so don't turn it up.
4.
Just imagine drifting inside it for a little while...
5.
Close your eyes and travel with me all the way to the final moment.

about

Sounds of the feelings on the journey leading up to and including the imaginary final transcendence from one dimension or plain to another. Also released on Gates Of Hypnos (GOH544).

This begs for headphones, darkness, open mind and closed eyes (or a fully meditative state). If you partake in psychoactives / slowing down time, this should really work for you. I hope you are with me.

71 minutes for those who like their ambience as much as their noise, their industrial clang as much as their mind-freeing drone. I have tried to make this as epic, overwhelming, beautiful, psychologically immense as I can possibly produce this style to be.

...and, of course, the title IS a nod to 'En Trance To Exit' by The Aphex Twin. No Richard D James sounds were harmed (or emulated or copied) in the making of this, but he has been one of my favourite musicians (of any style) for over 30 years now, so his influence can never be hidden, however it shows.

Emotional visual for the closing track using one section of the Robot Carnival animation; second time I've used something from that incredible work. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQlMY1DUPWk

Made with Arturia synth, my voice, piano, Shotcut, Wavepad, Reaper, Fruity Loops, Starryai and Hysteresis, between September 19th and February 17th 2023; (with some exceptions reworked from an unreleased Incandescence track made around 2006).

I made this album specifically for Gates Of Hypnos. I wanted to create something to follow in a similar vein (process-wise) to the 1st Owl record on GoH, 'Old Haunts', but, push further up, out, wider, deeper, quieter, louder, as well as trying more new things with sound development and disparate layers for you to focus on.

Gates Of Hypnos is one of my very favourite labels, and is essential for anyone listening to noise, drone, dark, ambient, experimental, electronic, harsh, weird, at any level of knowledge about the styles.
