about

**NOTE: there is NO digital download of this available, besides the 'lil 8 min snippet that you see above!**

~ Recorded in 2017, from an entirely self contained "no electricity" solar powered or battery operated bush shack/studio, built by Matt.. on hill-side land just metres from the Hawkesbury River in Spencer, NSW.
Two long hypnotic trance-like ambient drone pieces w/ the sounds of his bushland surroundings also captured on tape, with both intense and subtle waves of insect noise as well as birds twerping, humming, gushes of wind blowing through trees/leaves, etc. across these recordings. no overdubs or editing.. recorded in real time, direct to tape!

~ Ltd edition of 25x glossy white C90s w/ type written brown kraft labels, inside clear one tape library style case w/ patterned fibre paper used as cover art + inner leftside "pocket" has a text insert on heavy cardstock.
