Eric Holm - Andøya (2014)


Massive, reverberating sounds from UK producer Eric Holm. Thunderous rhythms and static-ridden drones echoing through a vast, lightless expanse. From Holm's bandcamp: "Andoya [...] was made from contact mic recordings of pylons carrying communications cables that connected listening stations on an Arctic Norwegian island."

Track listing:
1. Måtinden
2. Stave
3. Åse
4. Kvastinden
5. Høyvika
6. Andøya

  3. Kind of reminds me of the Conet Project for some reason.

  4. Mark Pino nailed it. Well remembered. That compilation of Cold War shortwave transmissions has moments of the same feeling but in all fairness to Eric Holm - his is much less random.
