Equinox by Matthew Shaw

Move light around the room,
spin light around the room,
find yourself in every star,
enjoy every possibility,
rest in simplicity,
and listen to the silence,
listen to the silence,
listen to the silence

Equinox working from Matthew Shaw: here Matthew uses guitar, moog, vocals, kaoss pad and phonography in a split series of workings recorded during the dawn and evening chorus of the Equinox 2013. More orchestral and guitar-psych focussed than previous volumes, Matthew matches the rising and setting of the sun with arcing beams of extended E-bow guitar and great rainbow tones, assembling a constantly shifting string setting that sounds both ancient and futuristic, melding the elegiac English feel of William Lawes viol work with contemporary devotional music like Popol Vuh and Coil. One of Matthews most complexly plotted and compositionally advanced works, very beautiful, hand-numbered/lettered and in hand-made sleeves. highly recommended.

“Matthew is one of the most fascinating figures on the UK drone underground, collaborating with thinkers like Brian Lavelle (as Fougou) and Andrew Paine (as The Blue Tree) while releasing music under his own name and the Tex La Homa pseudonym via a host of labels.
