'Untitled' - a love letter to the HNW tradition of giving no title to walls and placing priority on the sounds themselves. The enigmatic trope of having many different walls all under one 'Untitled' banner has been a hallmark of HNW for decades and I am eager to show my love and appreciation for it through this compilation release!
For some people the trope suggests an ethos - walls of nihilism that are 'devoid of meaning' are also devoid of a title, walls that are focused on the sound and want the listener to focus on the sounds as well will not title walls for this purpose - and of course some wallers simply don't have the time, energy or inclination to title their wall. I would like to think that a cross-section of all three camps are offered in this massive selection.
This compilation takes in 37 walls of varying length - from very short to very long - this was a result of setting only a maximum file size and giving no other guidline - I am quite fond of the chaotic nature of what has ensued, and in spite of the ability to submit very small tracks, many artists have gone for the traditional longform and the compilation has reached a massive runtime. Thank you to all of the artists, both returning and new to the netlabel, for sending in their contributions. So many of the new faces are ones that I would like to welcome back to the platform some day, so the compilation has been a resounding success if only for that purpose.
