Bill Nelson
Chance Encounters In The Garden Of Lights
Single UK 1987 on Cocteau Records label
Electronic (Synth-pop, Experimental, Ambient)
Composed, performed and recorded at 'The Echo Observatory', Yorkshire, England. This is the first edition of this album, including the Ecclesia Gnostica (Music For The Interior Church) 7" (COQ 22). "The music presented on these 2 albums marks the consolidation of several years of musical & philosophical practice. Almost every piece was conceived during moments of intense stillness or 'magical vacuity'. For this I acknowledge the influence of the late Austin Osman Spare, whose technique for creating 'automatic drawing' has found a sympathetic resonance in my own work. Of all the music I have made, this is, perhaps, the most personal & yet the least demonstrative. Attempting nothing & existing purely for itself, it is, nevertheless, a practical music, ideally suited to the occultist in search of ritual atmosphere or serene meditation. With such a purpose in mind I offer this work to my fellow initiates as a testament to the Gnosis & a confirmation of The World Within." Bill Nelson 1987. Made in England Released in a gatefold and with printed cardboard inner-sleeves
