EXP 1 by Amnion

In a lonely room a boy sits, slowly turning the broken knobs on an old AM radio. Between the indistinct scraps of local ball games and talk show pundits he hears the thin traces of a far off signal, these flashes of choreographed static sounding somehow purposeful through the random noises. He adjusts the dial, moves between windows, fashions an antenna from a knotted slinky coil and is rewarded for his feeble efforts. The song of distant spaces reaches his ears. A song whose waves have been stretched as it passed through the hydrogen molecules of a murky nebula and compressed as it passed near the pulse of a dieing star and became a teaming choir as it gathered voices from a distant galaxy. So long a journey just to sing to one lonely boy.
Exp. 1 is the freshman composition of Amnion, pupil of Australia’s experimental maestro, Shinjuku Thief. It is a conglomerate of orchestrated pulses, hums and static that at times sounds more like the songs of stars through a radio telescope than a composed recording. It is a signal with a subtle elegance that will reward the studious listener.

Bottle Imp Productions

AMNION is the brainchild of Roderick Price and is the vehicle for his dark, brooding style of electronic music. AMNION composes dense seething soundscapes using abstracted field recordings made from his localized surroundings and treated with generated electronic material. AMNION is also concerned with ideas related to surround sound and sonic immersion, both in production and performance.
