About This Item
Opaque assemblages of Mellotron, guitar, field recordings, tapes and broken FX pedals by Pacific Northwest musician Liz Harris, created during and after two contrasting residencies in the Azores, Portugal and Murmansk, Russia and combined with pieces made at home in Astoria, Oregon. The collection's unique dual design functions as a forked path, existing independently of one another but with roots intertwined. She cites her score for HYPNOSIS DISPLAY as a compositional reference point, inspired by Inchinterior mnemonic device landscapesInch and Inchcuriosity around a sadness.Inch In pacing, palette and poignancy, these sides rank among Harris' most stark, primordial work fragile, feverish, ominous and otherworldly. She describes this music as Incha requiem, a ritual, to unlock and feelings,Inch a sense of shadowy masses, moving backwards, in spirals, massive doorways opening chaotic forces, Incha toxic concentrated reduction of something much darker bubbling beneath.Inch Her artistry for mapping richly detailed inner worlds is nowhere more expressive and enigmatic, vibrations and voices gliding dimly out of the void, Inchwraithlike and ethereal, their existence in the mist questionable.Inch Initially released in a private edition that vanished almost as quickly as it was announced, After it's own death / Walking in a spiral towards the house is presented here in a beautiful second edition on Superior Viaduct's imprint W.25th.
