about

download includes 4 tracks (V, VI, VII & VIII)

These particular recordings are from the winter of 07-08 and represent the noisier and darker side of Gardenia as well as a more mature approach to improvisation. More textural dynamic shifts, tone generating experimentation & loop manipulation, pedals are played as much as the guitar. Still drone but more sporadic ideas weaving in and out of each other. A larger sonic palate is explored, walls of shifting noise, redlining octave doubling guitar, minimal space and a decent into deep frequencies. Some notable influences on this one, Merzbow, Stephen O'Malley, House of Low Culture & Mick Barr.
