Green Morning

Just a quick brag to let you know that my new full length CD The Green Morning has just been released on Digitalis, in the USA.

Here's what the label said about it:

New Zealand's seht (AKA Stephen Clover) has spawned a musical monster around one consistent idea: that simplicity can be the most mind-expanding drug around. Over the course of a dozen releases on labels like Last Visible Dog and Celebrate/Psi/Phenomenon, Clover has perfected this artform. Using a minimal array of instruments and effects, he sculpts every sound source he can find into soothing walls of aural bliss. Doing more with less is rarely done better than this.

The Green Morning is seht's third proper CD release, and comes on the heels of a series of limited CD-Rs. Through his ability to synthesize a seemingly endless array of sounds into a single, focused point, seht acts as a modern composer in the same vein as William Basinski. Clover's drones have explored various territory through the past few years, everything from glacial ambience to desconstructed blues. The Green Morning is like the early moments of dawn, bathed in warm plumes of sonic sunlight. These songs are the memories trapped beneath the floorboards, and by looking back Clover offers a mere glimpse into the ambience of a not-so-distant future.


More info here. If you follow the links to the Digitalis release page, there's a track (Cydonia) you can listen to; you can listen to a further track (Valles Marineris) on my myspace page.

There's also a new 3" tour cdr release "sputnik II" on Melbourne, Australia label Diagnosis...DON'T! recordings but I'll pro'ly blog that separately.

(ps. please contact me if you are having trouble finding somewhere that is selling them.)
