Waiting for the Tiller

Dark ambient, made of radio scraps and the wind through the ghosts of machines. All tracks feature static, like you're surfing on Unknown Radio Frequencies. A theme here of abandoned machines speaking to no one. THEIR track descriptions (see booklet) are pretty apt little stories.

1. empty police radio, lost fem. voice, halting melodic scrap
2. crickets, radio transmitter voice, buzzy static
3. elec. guitars pretending to be a vacuum; phone rings; echoes
4. speakier-to-speaker blips, wind-in-the-desert creaks
5. static, farawy beeps--desolate
6. 2-way radio traffic, groaning metal, faraway marching band
7. bleeps then explosions--escalates to churning noisy chaos
8. the ghosts of old recordings--bells, muffled voices, static
9. droning cicada-y noise, muffled narration about the stars & satellites
10. white noise of machines running . . . turns to beeps, groans, voices in static
