Yellow and white edition of 500 with obi strip. The 'Pyroclasts' album is the result of a daily practice which was regularly performed each morning, or evening during the two week 'Life Metal' sessions at Electrical Audio during July 2018, when all of the days musical participants would gather and work through a 12 minute improvised modal drone at the start and/or end of the day's work. The piece performed was timed with a stopwatch and tracked to two inch tape, it was an exercise and a chance to dig into a deep opening or closing of the days session in a deep musical way with all of the participants. To connect/reconnect, liberate the creative mind a bit and greet each other and the space through the practice of sound immersion. The players across the four pieces are Tim Myidyett, T.O.S., Hildur Gudnad�ttir and as always Stephen O'Malley and Greg Anderson.
