about

"...a living room rāga in reverse and tribute to the antumbra protecting us from the tyranny of illumination" ~ Burnt Umbrage

The first collection of a two-part series of impromptu improvisational musics inspired by the vast desert of our Solar System. Recorded in one day, each song was captured in one take with no overdubs and is presented in recorded chronological order.

The last piece, "Circle of Illumination pt 1 & 2", was previously only available as two separate songs. Here it has been preserved in its entirety so that it may be heard as it was originally intended.

The previously available excerpt "Circle of Illumination" by then-named solarNOTHING is still available on the ORAM Cassette Compilation from Constant Existential Crisis on Bandcamp here:
constantexistentialcrisis.bandcamp.com/track/solarnothing-circle-of-illumination

Wild Don and I had cloaked these compositions in obscurity until we were ready to present them to you...that time is NOW -∞+

about

artzenkraft Los Angeles, California

The Angst True Square of the Artzenkraft

An occasional ensemble, performing accidental songs on temporary instruments...

Pernicious melodies imbued with timbres derived from failed attempts, false starts, mistunings and defective equipment.

Never before has a prepared/hammeredguitar penetrated the musical vernacular so violently and yet, remained so erudite! ... more
