about

Zetland was born from a couple of abandoned projects. The first was around ambient remixes of previous releases and the second two extended improvisations made on electric guitar and gong. The first never happened but left me wanting to experiment more with a more electronic approach, exploring sound design rather than instrumentation. I almost released the improvisations but wasn't really happy with them. Elements of them appear on Zetland, heavily processed and manipulated.

Zetland is the most electronic release of mine so far - in addition to processed gong, guitar and radio sounds it features samples from the Polish Radio Experimental Studio[1], again treated and manipulated, alongside synths and sampled reverb tails.

I was keen for this not to become the inevitable "lockdown release". However, I realised when I came to name the tracks (something I always struggle with and leave until the last minute) that they were informed by a longing to be a long way away - surrounded by the sounds of nature rather than urban clatter which is quickly re-establishing itself after the relative peace of the early lockdown.

Initially this is being released digitally but may find a physical release in time.

Sirénes
by Amp

Only just discovered this band after someone said I reminded them of them. Where have they been all my life? Beautiful lo-fi spacey psych / shoegazing. Turn up the reverb to 12! Lines of Silence

A I A : Alien Observer
by Grouper

Hard to pick one of Grouper's albums, but this has become my go-to. Stunning songs obfuscated by degraded noise, vocals barely there but still punch you in the gut. Love it. Lines of Silence

Slowdive
by Slowdive

So happy to see Slowdive's star rise again. I loved them in the 90s and never stopped loving them. This is a come back and a half. Effortless song writing and shoegaze soundscapes. Lines of Silence

Brilliant production covering an impressive range of IDM, ambient, glitch and even elements of DnB. The Butterfly Effect is especially captivating and is one of many highlights to be found on this EP. Highly recommended! Jeff Haight
