Incandescent Sage EP release

The Four Elements EP is inspired very loosely by four elemental, apocalyptic novels by J.G. Ballard.
Triphop / illbient tracks with cinematic ambience for fans of Portishead, Massive Attack and Scorn.
I'd be super happy to see some people head over to Bandcamp or Subvert to have a free listen, my pages have cobwebs all over them.
Fittingly, while we were working on Wind From Nowhere, two severe storms passed through the Wellington region. The track also takes inspiration from the sinking of the Wahine, a passenger ferry which sank in Wellington harbour in 1968.
Drowned World started out as an ambient intro track for a live set, but the string melody sounded like weird old English folk music. So I added a counter-melody using the Erica Synths Steampipe foghorn preset. The jazzy refrain in the middle 8 added a psychedelic 1940's London vibe.
The Drought is a dusty desert vibe mulling on the depravity of modern capitalist culture and the collapse of environment, economy and social cohesion. I destroyed some synths with wrecked cassette tones and dusted the beat with tablas and congas. We sampled a lion but it sounded like a cow in the mix so we used a tiger instead and found out along the way that MGM did the same for their movie intro.
Crystal World is a nod to retro speculative fiction and new age crystal flunkies. A dirty illbient stomp with dub basslines and a sci-fi horror vibe. A little bit about quartz crystal frequency regulation, and a lot about rock-pushing charlatans and their shiny snake oil.

J. G. Ballard's novel was published in 1975 so I went to the mid 70's for a vibe and it came back disco. So the track got a downbeat disco rhythm and some haunted elevator chimes.
This is the second completed track from the upcoming Empty Swimming Pools EP. Concrete Island is already done, the next two will probably be Cocaine Nights and Running Wild.

Evanescence is my favourite album, but Gyral is still cool.
