Jagged audio collages which shift from blurry abstractions to choppy sound art to mournful plundered passages, always with the singular stylistic approach the composer has developed over the last 25+ years of activity. In these dense new compositions, hidden details come into relief as loops develop and morph while elusive melodies emerge from the mist before vanishing into thin air.
With a DIY aesthetic at its heart, the characteristic looseness of these pieces could be attributed to Colin Andrew Sheffield's use of vintage sampling hardware, but the presence of imperfect loops and rough textures was also a conscious decision. In bending found sounds to his will, creating a certain ambiance of open-ended intrigue, he describes a hazy landscape - flecked with distant clouds and obscure lights in the sky; a paean for the inexplicable.
"Strings swell up from the bottom of a dark pool of water, drones vibrate like the hull of a doomed cargo plane, the ghosts of ghosts walk in circles across sheet-metal... he conjures these scenes and more like them here" (Yellow Green Red).
