Seth Nehil – Umbra CD

Seth Nehil – Umbra CD

An album of continuous pitched sounds with strong white noise, air on the edge of tone, amplified through a compositional process of massing and layering, incorporation of room tone and re-recording environments. Sonic shadows - sound as a casting of color or dark, the slowly unfolding shade of space within a field of time, “night music”.

Sources include blown bottles, pump organ, voice, bowed autoharp, piano, recorder, sagbut, and field recordings of fireworks, crickets, caves on the Oregon coast, a rotating electric sign in the cobblestone streets of Maribor, Slovenia, boiling water.
