Ariel (EP) by Velvet Something Superdark

Three pieces combining delicate piano improvisation, irritating noises from electromagnetic fields, meandering rhythms and eerie voices to create a soundscape that is both tender and disturbing – much like the poetry of Sylvia Plath, excerpts from whose poem ‘Ariel’ (1962) form the thematic centre of this sound experiment. All sounds and vocals (except Plath's reading), mixing and production: Velvet Something Superdark.

"And I
Am the arrow,

The dew that flies
Suicidal, at one with the drive
Into the red

Eye, the cauldron of morning."
