Dead bees

I've (finally!) got a new seht CD out which is the follow-up to The Green Morning. It's out on the PseudoArcana label, and it's called dead bees ((the((quiet)earth))suite).

On the PseudoArcana site, the label-boss Antony wrote:

Campbell Kneale once explained that to describe Wellington's seht as drone music is much the same as describing Antarctica as white. Where as many of us utilise the drone as an ingredient, a point of departure, Stephen Clover's seht project distills drones to craft something very like a fine liquor.

One Moment, the 35-minute first track on dead bees is Clover's somnambulist ambient drone masterpiece, a famous insomniac's grand fantasy of sleep. Setting sail with the gentle sound of submerged bells one sinks deeper as lush rich tones gradually merge into a swell of dream-scape waves. Deeper still and one finds oneself glowing in a deep warm golden molasses that shimmers and sways until time somehow folds in upon itself and loses all meaning as ones consciousness shifts into angel gear for the lonnnng coast out.

But Clover is also agent provocateur -- a wry and acerbic wit. To say that there are surprises to follow is an understatement...

That was nice, wasn't it! In time, this page is where you'll be able to read other stuff about the album. And, you can hear a sample from the album here.
