about

is Babylon burning? or Babylon becoming?

This short piece was recorded for the 3" CD-r series on Attenuation Circuit. I enjoyed the challenge of having to condense my ideas to fall within the strict time limit that the format dictates.

The tone of the album is dark. I'm not sure who will enjoy this record, and I worry for those that do. It was inspired by months of anger and frustration at the world and the people who keep it turningtrudgingtoward oblivion. If I could just get the ritual right I could.. I ended up with a flooded house. Next time I'll try healing music instead.

'Rainmaking' was recorded in Oxfordshire and Kent, and mixed in Brighton, UK, between May & July 2013.

"It’s surprising that the artist describes this music as coming from a dark place, but as you might hear here; being in a state of darkness sometimes brings out the superb best brightest heavenly music ever! Absolutely an amazing release!"
- Yeah I Know It Sucks

"This piece continues to play with rustle and tone, with gorgeous refractive waves offset by thick sheets of incandescent howl. The overall effect is that good and evil are battling very slowly. This may be exactly what is taking place in Brant’s mind and in the world around us. We have a choice to see the world as devolving or evolving and to respond in despair or in hope. ”Next time I’ll try healing music instead”, writes Brant. The irony is that this is healing music: the honest expression of a heart at war."
- A Closer Listen

"...another fine mix of all of these sound sources working together in the best musique concrete-meets-drone-meets-ambient way. Here we have something of which the balance works well, and which is loosely organized, maybe almost in an improvisational manner put together, but working through some distinctive parts of the piece. It's not that academic in that respect, but of course that for me makes it better and also never any less serious in itself... It's all done very nicely indeed."
- Vital Weekly
