Circle of Days 2

This is sculptural, present music, for which background details ultimately seem superfluous, and which makes the past as well as the future feel entirely open
Here’s the original 2009 cassette from the emissary of British dronemusik, Andrew Chalk. This cassette has been released by the Japanese imprint Siren Records, although it seems that Chalk himself did all of the printing. So, it certainly looks as lovely as it sounds. The album opens with a 22 minute abstraction of piano tones, smeared, stretched, and warbled by a process that seems more attuned to tape decay techniques than the placid smooth surfaces that have come from Chalk’s recordings as of late. This has the sound more of the misty psychedelic ambient tapestries from Natural Snow Buildings or the hauntological loops of Indignant Senility
