Dust by Henkel
Isolated high on a cliff a man weighs his options in wake of catastrophe. As food stores grow thin he guards the only way up and watches the masses below struggle through hunger and desperation. His mind wanders in solitude exploring thoughts of nihilism and hopelessness until someone or something ascends the cliff out of sight. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
This album is a conceptualized soundtrack to a post apocalyptic film set in the 70's. It's been a pet project I started early this year to explore new sounds and styles. Long intros, outros, different meters and instruments. I love vintage recording aesthetics and tried to capture them here with analog gear and tape.
Inspired by: Ennio Morricone, David Axelrod, Lalo Schifrin, Henry Mancini, John Barry and Bill Conti.
