Tzesne - Cliffs Under The Mist [Mystery Sea - 2007]

Cliffs under the mist offers up three near-on twenty minute tracks of slow unfolding and textural ambient sound worlds- mixing together drone textures, field recordings with haunting and eerier harmonic traces.

The mist in the tile is very fitting as one often feels among these tracks like your slowly drifting through banks and clouds of mist on dew damped mourning or on creepy night exploration of mist enshrouded moor or deserted harbour side.  Drone textures build, unfold drift and throb as you seemly become one with their hypnotic and  organic unfold.  Elements and sounds drift nearly into focus before once more disappearing off into the drone folds before you can full identify their origin properly. The air is often marked by a tangible feeling of uneasy as is something or someone is watching you just out of your vision as the languidly tread your way  though the mist- your feet barely touching the ground.

Another enjoyable and involving slice of slow moving  ambient and field recording dwell and unfold by the Mystery Sea Label which as always is ltd to 100 copies.
