Collection of new experimental/ambient/drone videos from all over the world! Junklight (UK), Taxxess (US), Forest Management (US), Ghost Signs (Ireland) and J Bagist/Property Materials (US) present their own visual feasts.
Forest Management – Untitled 1
FM is John Daniel from Chicago and Untitled 1 is a taster for upcoming Biqui tape on Philadephia, PA label No Rent Records. The video itself is a meditation on nature and the flow of things in it (namely, cats and rats) all depicted in a series of charcoal drawings.
Taxxess – Descend Into Sleep
An hour long meditation on…sleep? A haunting kind of sleep, admittedly – this one coming from Jim Moon, ex-keyboard player for Bloody Knives
Ghost Signs – These Nights Will Go On Forever
Based in Belfast, Ireland, GS is a project revolving around tape loops and guitar drones (the process of creation of those is captured in the video above). As GS mastermind Iain explains on his website
[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=”15″] Cassettes are not used out of some misplaced nostalgia for glory days lost, but as a tool of freedom. Magnetic tape remains the last medium that we can edit with merely a blade and sticky tape. Technology should free the human spirit, not enslave it.
Bored of creating music in a computer, Ghost Signs was started as a way to bring something tangible to the creation process. Instead of virtual tweaking and endless post production, Ghost Signs is recorded live, one take, no overdubbing using two 4 track tape decks, guitars and a large array of effects. [/perfectpullquote]
Junklight – Miniatures
Junklight is Mark John Williamson (who also records as Cadestic) and “Miniatures” is a collection of short videos related to water and shot in/around Cumbria. As Mark explains
[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=”15″]Having left the city behind by now the music is inspired by the landscape: moody, atmospheric and emotive. There is no ideology behind how the music is made: analog, digital, hardware, software, samples, modular synth, real instruments – it’s all grist to the mill. [/perfectpullquote]
J Bagist – Untitled, February 2018
Moondrawn – He is a Sleepwalker
