Encomiast / The Copper Thieves
139 Nevada

Album US 2009 on Lens Records label
Electronic and Spoken Word (Dark Ambient, Drone)

Disc 1 composed 2004-2005. Disc 2 composed 2006-2008. Limited edition of 200 copies released in a textured box with two cards. In 2004, a group of musicians and curiosity-seekers went to the Belvidere Theatre in Central City, CO because it was rumored to be one of the most haunted buildings in the state. Their initial goal was to attempt to record Electromagnetic Voice Phenomena, but the project eventually took on a much different cast. They never succeeded in capturing any ghostly voices, but they reassembled the recordings into new compositions that captured the haunted spaciousness of the theatre. That’s where 139 Nevada began They returned to record in the theatre two more times while making these two records. Even if the spirits never raised their voices, the artists hope they were entertained by their presence. 139 Nevada consists of two discs - Encomiast ‘s “Masked Mirror” and "Slam Your Doors In Golden Silence" by The Copper Thieves, a coalition including members of Encomiast and the group Mandible Chatter. Both collections mine the rich sonic bed of the Belvidere Theatre - located at 139 Nevada, Central City, CO - but each one takes its own clear path.
