Album HK 2011 on At Sea Records label
Electronic (Dark Ambient, Abstract, Experimental, Ambient)
This is the edited 45 minute version of the three hour album "Svalbard", a collection of pieces based on the landscape of the Svalbard archipelago. This album does not replace the original, it's just an alternative to it as a way to appeal to people who like their music more direct and focussed. Source materials include the Welsh pibgyrn (bagpipe), Italian zampogna (bagpipe) and ciamarella (shawm), hardanger fiddle plus some 78 records from the 1920s. All have been stretched, processed, re-tuned and edited into soundscapes ranging from the relatively static to the dramatic. Thanks to Dave Seidel/Mysterybear for essential support and inspiration in finishing this.
