Empty Sky by Absence

IN999

I'm so excited to share Imaginary North's first non-compilation release is the album Empty Sky by Alberta-based musician Aidan Woollard, who records as Absence. I've followed his work for a little while - he has been releasing an impressive output of gorgeous and textured ambient drone for the past couple years, including several albums already in 2022. When I launched the label, Aidan contacted me about putting out some music, but I don't think I was quite prepared for what he shared with me. What we have before us is a truly epic and vast work, a nearly three hour album of evolving, pulsating, and moving music, shared here in a gapless stream of music. Coupled with Mitch Burke's incredible cover art, this is a work that is ready to take you on a wondrous journey.

Empty Sky is a calm, serene ambient record that follows the path of existence, from birth to death and beyond. Comprised of long, pulsing drone tracks, it paints a pensive image of the nature of life, death, and consciousness, inspired in part by Plato’s ‘Apology of Socrates’.

-Aidan Woollard

pure imagination.
