“Revolve”
is the fourth collaborative project between DiN label boss Ian Boddy
and the acclaimed Norwegian composer and guitarist Erik Wøllo. Their
previous two studio albums “Frontiers” (DiN39) and “Meridian” (DiN54)
were both very well received. They also played live together at the
Electronic Circus Festival V and released this performance as the
digital album “EC12” (DiNDDL16).
As with their other work together “Revolve” is a continuous sonic journey, with the tracks joined together by slices of sonic ambience and field recordings. Whereas their previous two albums seemed to inhabit the frozen landscapes of the North, this time the duo seem to be exploring warmer climes. The combination of Boddy’s Moog and modular sequencing with Wøllo’s ostinato guitar patterns creates sections that ebb and flow structurally with a beguiling sense of space and freedom. Beautifully ethereal textures give way to pulsing rhythmic sequencers underpinned by solid bass lines and shimmering percussion lines, as evidenced most succinctly on the title track. Over these structures Wøllo’s guitar motifs soar and glide, especially when he uses the EBow to produce a haunting, legato tone colour. The final track “Adiona” sees Boddy joining Wøllo by playing his Ondes Martenot style French Connection keyboard for a stunning duet to close the album.
Certainly cinematic, “Revolve” is a stunning musical travelogue that cries out to be listened to as a whole album and shows the mastery both these composers have in their craft.

Harmonium was the eponymous debut album by Québécois band Harmonium released in 1974. It was their most folk driven album, and features the song that made them famous "Pour un instant". It features nowhere near as exotic instrumentation as on their later albums, mostly sticking to simple guitar and bass arrangements, with occurrences of drums on a few songs.
Hours Lost
In
September of 1961, an event happened that would become one of the most
widely publicized alien abduction cases in history. After having an
encounter with a bright light in the sky that appeared to follow them on
their late drive home (Portsmouth, New Hampshire, US), Betty and Barney
Hill pulled over and got out of the car to investigate. The light
turned out to be a metallic object as big as a jet and it hovered above
them. Gray beings with large eyes could be seen in the windows. Fleeing
the scene, they both heard a series of buzzing sounds and lost
consciousness. Upon a second series of sounds they found themselves
arriving home much later with no recollection of what had happened after
their encounter. Only through months of sessions through hypnosis were
they able to come to understand what had happened during that missing
time.
This album is inspired by these events and what happened during those hours lost.

This Is Darkness
The latest release from the ever cool Zero K label is inspired by a case of alien abduction in 1961 and the idea of “missing time” that alien abductees experience. This is an impressive album of dark ambient / drone music, with skillfully blended glitch and post-industrial soundscapes. It’s eerie, otherworldly stuff, and it does a wonderful job of creating an unsettling and alien mood. I’ve had this on continuous play since I first heard it, and I will be listening to this for a long time to come. Very highly recommended!
