about

Here's an EP of layered and stretched droning noises with the abstract theme of national identity.

I don't understand nationalism or national identity, and I distrust those who place undue value on those things. The lines on the map have been redrawn so many times, the names and the flags and the people of a nation evolve. Most nations are built on tyranny, slavery, exploitation and violence. Tear your filthy blood-stained flags from their poles and burn them.

This EP is the first in the "Land" series, compiled from unreleased material largely generated during February Album Writing Months 2011-2014.

And yes, this is an EP, even though it's 41 minutes long. That's what I call "value".

Albany was a Gaelic name for Scotland, derived from the Latin name for Britain, Albion.

Kanata is the Saint-Lawrence Iroquoian word for settlement, which was likely misappropriated by the European settlers of what is now called Canada.

Aotearoa is the Māori name of New Zealand, often translated as "land of the long white cloud".

Bastion: Original Soundtrack
by Darren Korb

A really great soundtrack to a really great independent game. Country & western trip-pop meets folksy blues twang. Or something... Absolutely my favourite video game soundtrack since Limbo. timidelfdesigns

Limbo (Original Videogame Soundtrack)
by Martin Stig Andersen

Speaking of Limbo, I love this soundtrack for reasons which should be quite apparent. It's an acousmatic/electoacousitc type deal, and fits perfectly into the game's monochrome aesthetic. timidelfdesigns

NO
by Old Man Gloom

GLOOM on all stations in all nations. 2012's Summer of GLOOM. The first Old Man Gloom record in 25,000 years, bearing the mass of 50,000 suns, and sweeter than the honey of 75,000 bees. timidelfdesigns
