Label: Past Inside the Present

エレキギターを使い非常に絞り込んだミニマルなコンポジションを続けるインディアナ拠点のミュージシャンWayne Robert Thomas。地元のアンビエントレーベルPast Inside the Presentより2021年6月25日に出版した姉妹作の内の一つである[Canticles of B-Sides]。もともとはもう一作の[Canticles of Bliss]に収録予定だった音源で、そこに入りきらなかった10曲を"B-Side"という程で纏めたもの。その内容はエフェクトとループは使用せずにフィードバックで崇高な持続音を鳴らし続ける極上の幽玄レイヤー。CD版のみのリリースでパッケージは縦長のデジパック仕様。姉妹作[Canticles of Bliss]と合わせて是非。





"Initial recordings for 'Canticles Of Bliss' started in October of 2019 at my home studio located just south of Indianapolis. At the start of 2020 I continued recording songs off and on up until late April where I then took a break and then picked up the guitar again in July. I used an electric guitar for the recordings while utilizing very little effects and a loop station. Quite a lot of the tracks I made ended up not making it on 'Canticles of Bliss'. As such, these eight selected arrangements are a collection of b-sides from the Canticles of Bliss recording sessions.

A few of these songs here were done in one take, often with a loop station accompanying the main riff. Many of the track titles are references to a place here in the midwest, a fictional map to a video game, or a phrase that really stuck with me. I hope for the listener that these songs will at least resonate with them in some way."
