about

GODO007: 31st March 2023.

The humming of summer lawns. Fluttering and strumming from another green world… exactly where “Draw / Orb” takes us – somewhere not quite on this planet, albeit reminiscent of. Sonics are flown in from a place somewhat alien to what we know. We are denizens of a new elsewhere – familiar, yet undiscovered. The birds are twittering, a breeze blows, but the ground is buzzing – there is an electricity in the atmosphere here too. It eventually becomes apparent that the sky is also an aviary for aviation, not just avifauna. Luscious grasses are overwhelmed by glistening chrome whilst the stratosphere seems to draw further away. Have we become subterraneans in this foreign land?

Extra are Brian Grainger and Howard Stelzer, two stalwarts of ambient, experimental and abstract music. With more than four decades’ worth of experience in recording long-form, slow electronic music between them, their new collaborative venture is a true meeting of minds. GOTO is proud to release “Draw / Orb”, the first fruit of this union, taking us through a rich tapestry of field recordings, gentle acoustics and synthetic atmospheres.

When you just can’t get enough – Extra.

Kevin Drumm does have a computer and he knows how to use it ! A great and lengthy addition to my KD collection and exactly the kind of abstract and provocative genius we've come to expect from the man. unruh2525
