Ant here weaving dreams on a computer. The soundtrack is the 'Untitled Nr 7' 3" CDr by Jasper TX on Dead Pilot. Limited to 110 copies, this is like a sister release to the excellent 'Singing Stones' CD on Fang Bomb. Dont be fooled into thinking you've been sold a dud when you dont hear any audio for almost 2 minutes as there is a silence that clears the airwaves and washes aside all that you've been to listening before it to prepare you for the piece on its own terms. Then Dag Rosenquist slowly and skillfully builds a throbbing hum of ambient drone that slowly morphs and rumbles, gently building into a rumbling low end oscillation. It's a fine example of subtlety of transformation and a damn fine minimal piece. Gradually details are revealed and I'm thoroughly enjoying the way this track devolops over its 20 minute duration.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

BRAND NEW 3INCH DISC FROM JASPER TX. COMPANION TO HIS RECENT FULL LENGTH ALBUM "SINGING STONES". LIMITED TO 110 COPIES WORLDWIDE!

Dag Rosenqvist aka Jasper TX (one half of the post rock duo De La Mancha) has been producing his own brand of unique ambience for some time now, having had releases with Lampse, Miasmah, most recently Fang Bomb and self releasing various 3inch CDrs inbetween. It is with much honor that I welcome Dag into the "Dead Pilot ranks" (as it were).

With this 3 inch disc, Dag has really honed in on the drone sound he has only vaguely touched upon before. Building from subtle organ tones to dense low end drones and peaking with fizzing glory and triumph, this perfectly crafted 20 minute piece shows Dags ear for minimalism and subtle shifts in melody and texture. It's slow burning development makes the peak much more euphoric and intense. Like Stars of the Lid remixed by Machinefabriek.

Limited to 110 copies worldwide packaged in miniature DVD style case with photography artwork by Peter Broderick (yes THAT Peter Broderick) and textured paper insert
