Drone perfection. Long-form mostly chill balms of analog synth, organ, with a field recording like that of a ships hold populated with a small crowd. Tracks segue together usually via the ships hold. Antimatter is Xopher Davidson, longtime Oakland/SF artist contributor to local music as well as the Experimental culture, KZSU Day of Noise stalwart, with connections to Mills going back 30+ years.
1. (3:53) begins with field recording, public space voices big and hollow, synth drone appears after 2 minutes which segues into 2) (5:51) single note drone evolves to layered organ feel, then returns to field recording of 1st track 3)* (8:21) very nice serene drone, returns to the ships hold 4)* (8:44) a textured drone of organ with white noise brain fuzz that overtakes and becomes meditative surf sounds 5)* (9:22) organ tone joined by good old school noise drone, this one is the noisier of the bunch that fades after 6 minutes but continues with the ships hold public space 6) (8:14) quickly becomes a drone a la Nadja, heavy balm 7) (12:25) lovely long form meditative drone
