Ryan Harris-Brick Road Midnight CS

DG02: Ryan Harris-Brick Road Midnight

"Have you ever driven through the desert or weaved in-between mountains and wondered...what is out there...just beyond your line of sight?  What is existing in these landscapes that we cannot see, but perhaps could feel if we just left reality and walked out into the atmosphere?  The music found within Brick Road Midnight explores what it would feel like to slowly disappear into those landscapes, and become part of the unseen atmosphere existing between the Earth and our perceived reality.  With influences ranging from Brian Eno to Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream to David Sylvia...Ryan Harris works with modern and vintage synthesizers to create an other-worldy ether that evokes a dream-like state of floating right above all you can see.  Guitars are laid into the mix to help lasso you back into reality before you assimilate completely.  This might be the first every kosmiche journey that never fully allows you to leave Earth...

Inspired by looking out the window during lengthy car drives through Central & West Texas.  Recorded 2011/2012 at the Night Talk Studios in Kyle, TX.  All instrumentation & recording done by Ryan Harris.  Instruments used: Access Indigo 2, Ensoniq Fizmo, Soviet TOM, SCI Drumtrak, and guitar."

DG01: Sungod-Cuts from the Ether

DG01: Sungod-'Cuts From the Ether' CS
August of last year, SUNGOD recorded a live session on KVRX. The four song set was played by a four piece incarnation of Sungod including Alex Hughes (bass/bells) and Tyler Taylor (synths/addition guitar). Opening with the patient tangerine dream tinged 'Gas is Better than Gas'. A primitive synth sequence plays over wailing guitars, pounding in-and-out drums and a snarling bassline. From this song the band drones with harmonium, synth and electric guitar swells..making up what's now called 'Plasma Frequencies.' This serves as a transition into the cosmic bebop beat of 'Constellation of Ions', a booming pulse under soaring synth, compounding guitars and bass. Finally, the set closes off with 'Kraut Schulze'..a riffy surf from the intrepid tempel, blasting with kick drum, fuzz and space noise. Sungod has teamed up with Dusty Grass Imprints, for the first installment “Cuts from the Ether", a limited 100 CS release.

Track listing:
1. Gas is Better than Gas
2. Plasma Frequencies
3. Constellation of Ions
4. Kraut Schulze
