"So I travelled, stopping ever and again, in great strides of a thousand years or more, drawn on by the mystery of the earth's fate, watching with a strange fascination the sun grow larger and duller in the westward sky, and the life of the old earth ebb away."
-H. G. Wells, The Time Machine

The Old Earth follows [my] continued interest in gradual textural and harmonic changes, quietness and detail. These are explored by way of techniques such as granular synthesis and signal morphing. Virtual instruments and diverse unrelated recordings (scuttling cockroaches, church bells, melting ice plates, YouTube videos, electromagnetic signals, choirs...) interact via computer and modular synth in new, generally restrained contexts. Themes of inspiration included animal rights, the ethics of autoplay, outdoors listening and H.G. Wells' The Time Machine.

Press:

"...it seems that the point of impact between the source recording and his computer is where the rubber hits the road, and the composer’s highly individual method really starts to engage. For this set, he’s come up with a variety of ambient drones and quiet crackling tones, which at their most successful are like faint traces, faded photos of sound, where the actual event has long since passed and just leaves a barely-discernible imprint on the ear." (Ed Pinsent @ The Sound Projector, 25 April 2018 [http://www.thesoundprojector.com/2018/04/25/forsvind])
