Ethernautica X by Ran Kirlian
Tenth volume in the series of recordings based on long-format drones and raw material processed in multiple ways. To celebrate these ten years of the Ethernautica series, I wanted to create something special, so this volume is a double CD, reaching a total running time of over two hours across its four tracks.
These tracks are based on improvised recordings and layers of loops, time-stretched motifs of various shapes, and heavily manipulated field recordings, with the subsequent addition of numerous effects of all kinds. They can often sound a bit raw, unpredictable, and even aggressive, but that's part of the spirit of this recording series.
The tracks on this album were recorded and mastered between April and December 2025 at my studio, The_BlueRoom.
