Hi all,

a new limited-edition supporter album will be available on 01 March, 2008. Here we go:


stephen parsick: cryotainer -- music for gasometers

This album contains the recording of my concert I performed at Oberhausen Gasometer on 10 November, 2007. It is a combination of both the acoustic recording of the Gasometer ambience, captured with an advanced and updated version of the infamous dummy head microphone, and the recording of the music straight from the mixing desk. Mind you, there was hardly any 19" rackmount reverb used for ambiences. I know I should not be too over-enthusiastic about it but I recommend you listen to the music via headphones as the reverb ambience of that huge gas tun is just awesome. Bert Strolenberg -- a die-hard ambient music lover himself -- thought the same when he reviewed the pre-release of "cryotainer" on his sonicimmersion website (always worth a browse anyway):

"The eight tracks on the album have a ghostly and abandoning effect, as they journey into the deep, dark end. The vast, clouded, slowly shapeshifting dronescapes and powerful textures have the best impact when heard through headphones, revealing the magic and impact of the three dimensional sound environment when it was performed."

There are also some pictures of that concert to be found on www.schallwen.de and www.emportal.info in the respective threads. As usual, "cryotainer" will be limited to a batch of 25 hand-numbered all-black CDRs. As usual, the price per disc is 15 Euro. "cryotainer" will not be available through the doombient webshop, only through me directly.

If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch with me.

Thanks for reading,

Stephen.
