Glass Permanent by Daniel W J Mackenzie
"Sound In Silence proudly presents Daniel W J Mackenzie with his new album Glass Permanent.
Glass Permanent consists of six compositions of melancholic and cinematic soundscapes. This is a deeply personal and emotionally restful album with a taste of homemade experimentation, which focuses on the physical and technological manipulation of acoustic instruments such as piano, zither and glockenspiel and sound sources like voice and field recordings. Beautifully arranged, these minimalist compositions easily slip between modern classical and ambient drone, being probably Daniel’s finest work so far.
Glass Permanent comes in two distinct editions. The first one is a super-limited edition of 50 handmade, hand-stamped and hand-numbered collectible copies. The disc of this edition includes an exclusive seventh bonus track called Untitled ii, not included in the other edition or the digital download. It is packaged in a sewn fabric envelope, which includes a 4 panel insert with the tracklist and the credits printed on a 190 gsm beige cardboard and the front cover image printed on a polaroid style photo paper.
The second one is a limited edition of 200 handmade and hand-numbered collectible copies. It is packaged in a hand-stamped 260 gsm brown cardboard envelope with the front cover image printed on a polaroid style photo paper and an insert with the tracklist and the credits printed on 190 gsm beige cardboard.
Both editions contain a download coupon."
