Kerykeion - The Ambient Album
Kerykeion is a commitment. It was created in the spirit of the most experimental albums, and the ambitious endeavor does not fail to impress. Simply describing how the album was made takes some a basic understanding of how multi-track recording works. Approximately one hour of independently produced experimental stereo recordings were looped & copied. They were then placed side by side, 8 separate times, on a 16 channel digital recording system, spaced out at intervals of 15 minutes. Each cycle overlapped the others to create a unique, continuously spontaneous, and non-repetitious moment. This massive cacophony was then smoothly mixed live by hand, transforming the chaos into a dynamically controlled environment. Keyrkeion is one hour and eleven minutes of ephemeral evanescence that somehow burgeons into a crescendo of melancholy. |
