█ From the label: █
█ █
█ The Music: █
█ Daniel W J Mackenzie is perhaps best known for his work as Ekca Liena, a █
█ droning guitar and electronic mesh of ambience, electronica and hints of █
█ doom. This alias has carved itÆs place in the UK ambient underground. In █
█ addition, Daniel also records and performs with psychedelic drone outfit █
█ Plurals. Under his real name Daniel explores styles that are more █
█ intimate û his well received debut self-release Teeth Sleep Under █
█ Winking Black Eyelid is a melancholic and cinematic close focus study of █
█ the humble piano û and, in this case, rather more calculated conceptual █
█ works. █
█ █
█ The core of Return Written Arrange uses input from a variety of █
█ musicians who were asked to provide sound recordings of their choice █
█ from a selection of musical pitches and durations of MackenzieÆs own █
█ design. These were arranged in the order of when they were sent back and █
█ the resulting sequence was duplicated in a way that corresponded with █
█ the Fibonacci sequence, subjected to minimal production and █
█ compositional enhancements and left as semi-aleatoric pieces, as much █
█ constructed by chance and choice as they are bound by the rigidity of █
█ the sequence. █
█ █
█ Surrounding the two main conceptual pieces (Return Written Arrange i and █
█ ii) are a series of shorter tracks █
█ intended to provide much more human counterparts. These feature the kind █
█ of sombre improvised piano that runs through Teeth Sleepà tinkering amid █
█ atmospheres drawn from the other tracks and words from Irish poet P. █
█ Scanlan. Together the different elements form a mysterious, enchanted █
█ and possibly unsettling release that speaks as much for the soulÆs █
█ significance in musical composition as it does the mindÆs. █
