cloaked light / pale blue skysplit” long playing record

  • cloaked light - clear of,

  • pale blue sky - someday
  • pale blue sky - sometime
june 2010 release ; split one (right down the middle) with peter friel’s cloaked light resisting development throughout a side-long band-pass filtered held-fourth (i admire his adherence to keeping things simple & textural) & mike pollard’s pale blue sky introducing an open-ended major-key floater, later emphasising the 9th for extra added emotional whoomph ...

the minimal, grey-noise design elements works quite well given the included sonics, with arbor even going asfaras including a printed inner-sleeve with a just-trapezoidal array on each side ...

arbor 145 cloaked light / pale blue sky split 12"ep

working together, but differently. clear of, shows cloaked light working within a new mode; an expanded temporal sensitivity through field recording and discrete static chordsslow movement- revealing growth and decay at the subtlest thresholds; disappearing music with a heavy presence, a shifting sense of space, not in the room, but of the room. 

pale blue sky’s someday, sometime approaches a similar expansion of perception and unobscuring blur. through tape manipulation, the inner workings of tonal relationships are placed under focus; extending time to reveal new moments; widening the view.  distorting to understand; a reorienting pause. originally conceived to coincide with the cloaked light / pale blue sky california tour with pedestrian deposit, infinite body, earn, and mirror to mirror in january 2010; a testament to a common point and it’s different trajectoriesapproaching the possibility.

mastered by pete swanson; cut at 45 rpm.
in an edition of 400 copies with glossy jackets and inner sleeves.

arbor 122 cloaked light plain curtain c15

these early four-track experiments from peter friel’s cloaked light project offer a look into focus. with the slowest subtlety changes grow, only perceptible through reflection. a new form of seeking to understand; a non-linear music, offering a space of contemplation to look forward and behind.

on a long green hall friel shifts meaning and reorients the place of speech in a lucierian experiment with self-help tapes. on but i’m trying, subtle tonal expansions mirror the manipulation of speech on the previous track, though without the recognizable markers of language the result is more obscured. each track offers insight to the others processes. recorded in summer 2009, these tracks are some of the earliest from the project, a precursory inquiry to the tapes on ekhein and monorail. upcoming split 12 ep with pale blue sky further explores the nature of tonal interactions and non-linear explorations of sound.

in an edition of 125 copies with full color cardstock covers and labeled tapes.
