Hydrostatic, by Simon Whetham

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..

I waited for this perhaps to long... This work ( I & II) are provocative AND compelling drone works that are packed with subtlety and nuance...Do not trust your first impressions, be patient as there are great rewards with deep listening. enjoy <=>
