Hydrostatic

by Simon Whetham

supported by

drone2805 Simon Whetham hit hard with this dark, cold and wet album. The work evokes in my mind a loneliness, an impression of being cut off from reality and listening to a backstage work in which two fluids, water and electricity, circulate tirelessly, and whose music provokes the hypnosis of the amateur of field recording and drones. I love more than ever and I recommend! Favorite track: Hydrostatic 4.

about

'Hydrostatic' was commissioned by the McNeill Street Pumping Station New Music Festival, Shreveport, Louisiana, USA in November 2011, and presented as a multi-channel performance.
Simon Whetham spent more than a week exploring the site, capturing the sounds of the space, the vibrations of the buildings, the spirit of the community and perhaps the echoes of past activity...
Mastered by Miguel Carvalhais..

One of many bridges between two of the best minimal ambient record labels currently in existence. Both A Static Place and Remain come across as some of the most engrossing and rewarding drone albums, both now packaged together into one beautiful cohesive package. glumburger
