about

This project was a fun experiment for me to have the privilege of creating and watching it grow as each artist sent me their track. I told none of them that they all got the same base drone to work on. No one knew until after they all wrote their piece. My curiosity behind this project was close to the "telephone game" kids play where some one whispers something to a person and then they whisper it to the next...so on and so forth, till by the end it's not even the same message anymore. This also floats on the same theory that not everyone actually sees the same thing as the next person..not everyones brain interprets the same image the exact same way. I am quite stoked with what everyone involved here created with what they were given and I love the differences each track has from the others. I hope you all enjoy and every one of us involved in this project thank you for listening and following along as we all push forward with sound art and noise manipulations...Keep an ear out for the next experiment and thank you once again for tuning in. Sit back and enjoy the show - Mike Benoit

I'm listening to this while wearing my SBR t-shirt! An amazing collection of dark ambient. Each song is a haunting anthem to the dark and its very hard to pick a favorite. ICAs track sticks out simply because I believe its one of his best works. phil jones

Hypnotic ambient and drone music crests in the second track, which clocks in at a whopping 46 minutes. Mesmerizing from start to finish. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 25, 2023
