Hall, Max
Abstractithica
'Abstractithica' is the debut album for Max Hall. It came about while travelling around the world, also in and around the UK, using nothing but a stereo field recorder, gathering sounds, atmosphere's and conversations, noises, anything that vibrated the airwaves over a period of 4 years. Experimentation then ensued in the studio for about a year, putting all these gathered recordings into a collage of atmospheric sounds to create "40 minutes of beautifully sculpted field recordings", and the result is a mind bending mixture of recognisable and alien sounds that will drag the listener into a dream like state, confusing the brain and wondering at times what actually happened over the last 42 minutes. Not like anything you've heard before, this is a truly unique, one off record. Limited to 250 copies.
