Uralom by VEIDRIK
Uralom is about the emptiness inherent to and resultant from humanity's pursuit of dominion over the natural world.
The track titles were inspired by the following passage from Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, which can be interpreted as having the same theme:
“There is a path through the willows and among the sycamores, a path beaten hard by boys coming down from the ranches to swim in the deep pool, and beaten hard by tramps who come wearily down from the highway in the evening to jungle-up near water. In front of the low horizontal limb of a giant sycamore, there is an ash pile made by many fires; the limb is worn smooth by men who have sat on it.”
As with all of my past releases, Uralom was created by converting the cover photograph into sound and then manipulating the resulting raw data file with a variety of different effects. In essence, you are hearing me play the cover photograph as an instrument.
