Death-Static - time is ignorance

Death-Static is the new solo project of Gareth S. Brown, a Leeds-based musician who has previously released music, either as a member of the bands Hood and Canvas or solo under his real name and the aliases of The Unpleasants, Jerstice and Royal-Librarian. He is a current/occasional member of Memory Drawings and The Declining Winter, and has collaborated in the past with Western Edges, Joshua Norton Cabal and Soar Throat. His music has been released on labels such as Domino Records, Misplaced Music, Home Assembly Music, Hibernate Recordings, Zozaya Records, Second Language, Signal Records and many others. "Time Is Ignorance" is comprised of six ambient compositions of melancholic textures and dark soundscapes, with a total duration of 50 minutes. All compositions are intended to be explorations of collective grief, as Death-Static is a conceptual project in that Gareth S. Brown is trying to explore the hopeless melancholy of the New Age movement. It is very much a different project to the things he has done in the past under his own name, as that was all midi-based, whereas this is strictly hardware, with no computers involved. Using warm organ chords, minimal piano melodies, broken 4-track tape recorder, sampler loops and various effect pedals, Death-Static creates a superb post-minimalist modern classical album that was beautifully mastered by George Mastrokostas (Absent Without Leave).
