Am always intrigued by Peter's work, often standing head and shoulders above many of his contemporaries there's something about his sounds that really connect with me in a way which is not easy to articulate. I guess the vibrations he creates just resonate and stir something within me and this LP is no exception. He's tools in this instance are guitars, bass, mandolin, clarinet and effects. Peter has a deft sleight of hand without a doubt, employing each instrument with consideration and care he builds multifaceted drone worlds which are breathtakingly spooked. Just as I'm settling into the dubbed out slow motion soundscape I imagine hiding under a porch in post apocalyptic landscape and then the guitar sounds come sweeping across the sound-field like some alien force or unknown beings marching along as chills of fear shiver through the body. It's hugely pleasurable to hear the artist sculpt this bleak yet exciting netherworld. Darkened room late night full immersion is very much recommended. Edition of 350 copies on 180g vinyl. A beauty.
NZ sound artist Peter Wright is back with his very first solo recordings since 2008′s ‘An Angel Fell Where The Kestrels Hover’.
For this new offering he took the label’s name to heart and reconnected with his old bass guitar, gathering dust in storage for 7 years or more, using it as a new source of inspiration, in the process creating enough material over a two week period to fill at least three LPs. Combined with a down-tuned guitar and an assortment of laptop based effects the addition of the bass gives this record an atmospheric range that is both heterogenous in it’s vibes and homogenous in it’s inspiration.
I am then extremely excited to release this new album that has been recorded specifically for Basses Frequences !
