4. Finally, I have less than 100GB space on each working HD rn. Until my 2TB external pen arrives, I will have to link you on here otherwise.

There will be artwork for this release from me eventually, and I'll also choose a bit of a different angle to base the art on.

About the release
------------------------

The sound is similar to the quietest of Drone Ambient, because that's exactly what it is: radio static and interference noise recorded at the same time on top of my digitally recorded microphone recording methods, of DJ set experiments that switch from downtempo to dnb and electronic music. Strangely, this time, only the static silence was recorded, and my Olympus £35 recorder has been like that since the middle of June 2019. To me the mix of static and found sounds (esp. if you tune in with headphones on, waves, white noise and raindrops can be sensed) is absolutely fantastic, because it is so naturally calm, very analogue and very ultra-mundane, like a sea breeze in Spanish air.

There will be new material on Bandcamp, meaning stuff I've sat on for the last few months and needed to arrange properly, and also get clearances.
Cheers.
