Ramshead

by Philip Sulidae

supported by

drone2805 Another wonderful album of the unique Philip Sulidae! With this particular touch to train us, using natural sounds, in a cold and strange universe that slides gently towards a silence, which it breaks with textures a little rasping, strident or chaotic. A great album to listen absolutely, maybe the best! I have a huge favorite for the fourth track, "Valley Floor, Nights and Frogs" which is delicious. Favorite track: Valley floor, nights and frogs.

about

The basis of these pieces were field recordings made in the Kosciuszko National Park during summer. This national park covers alpine and sub-alpine areas, and as such provides an unusual environment within the typical low lying bushland and desert of greater Australia. It covers the highest peaks on the continent, and as such is a diverse environment that covers everything from heavily wooded valleys and riverways, through to rugged grasslands high above the treeline. There is a similar variation in animal and bird life, whilst the weather is inclement all year round with everything from blazing sun to snow in one day.
However I had no interest in trying to document this environment in a literal sense, rather the approach was purely subjective and perceptual. It is an attempt in mapping and constructing a response, but perhaps also an attempt to build the density and extremities of this environment with a sonic equivalent. I used a light recording rig, preferring to work quickly and informally with a mind to building up a large palette of sounds that would later form the raw ingredients of these sound pieces. I used quite pronounced editing and manipulation to slowly shape them into something with it’s own physicality and mass. Something that hopefully embodies and epitomises these antediluvian and monolithic mountains.
