████ ████
████ Throwing SnowÆs fourth album is the ████
████ audiovisually-augmented Dragons, a work that ████
████ occupies the space between science and ████
████ ancestral wisdom. It links music back to its ████
████ prehistoric capacity for transmitting knowledge ████
████ to new technology that can untangle the ████
████ complexity of the contemporary world. DragonsÆ ████
████ ten tracks of heavy primal rhythmic productions ████
████ incorporate the physicality of acoustic ████
████ sources, from ancient ritual instruments to ████
████ modern drum kit, and each track is accompanied ████
████ by visuals generated by a neural network. ████
████ ████
████ Throwing Snow, aka Ross Tones developed ████
████ DragonsÆ neural network with artist, designer ████
████ and technologist Matt Woodham. The structures ████
████ and changes in TonesÆ music trigger ████
████ corresponding changes in accompanying moving ████
████ images, which combine life in three scales, ████
████ from microscopic views of rocks to large scale ████
████ maps. ôEverything that happens musically ████
████ triggers the algorithm to do something,ö Tones ████
████ explains. ôThis isnÆt controlled or ████
████ predictable, and the music becomes an ████
████ instruction for the algorithm to make its own ████
████ decisions about datasets, images, speed, ████
████ movement and other manipulations.ö ████
████ ████
████ The tracks on Dragons match TonesÆs ambitions ████
████ for the album in weight but not complexity. ████
████ They are intentionally dazzlingly simple in ████
████ their means, for maximum effect, with repeating ████
████ motifs, locked basslines, cosmic patterns and ████
████ full-frequency mids. Often built from four or ████
████ fewer elements, Tones allows sound to ████
████ accumulate into his unique take on ritual music ████
████ for the 21st century. Throbbing ritual dances ████
████ contain half-remembered earworms revealing ████
████ glittering night skies of synthesizer patterns ████
████ û æHalosÆ stabs and stutters like a dance atop ████
████ a longbarrow; æPurrÆ reverberates in silky ████
████ vibrational motifs; the heavyweight æBrujitaÆ ████
████ is nu-metal for a past-future ceremony of ████
████ uncertain purpose. ████
████ ████
████ Tones says he often uses his music as allegory ████
████ and container for the concepts and theories ████
████ heÆs immersed in û he studied astrophysics, and ████
████ is fascinated by crafts, archeoacoutics, ████
████ history, evolution and psychology. In Dragons, ████
████ he wanted to explore the purpose of music from ████
████ the beginning of human history. ôWe have ████
████ Palaeolithic minds but find ourselves in an ████
████ increasingly complex and interconnected world,ö ████
████ Tones explains. ôMusic and art have always been ████
████ ritualised as a tool for memory, knowledge and ████
████ emotion, and humans make sense of existence by ████
████ using tools. Songs were tools of understanding, ████
████ passed down from our ancestors. Now, things are ████
████ complex and interrelated, so we canÆt use that ████
████ ancestral knowledge, and need to invent new ████
████ tools û thatÆs where machine learning comes ████
████ into it.ö ████
████ ████
████ As is typical for TonesÆ Throwing Snow project, ████
████ the album contains a bold and eclectic mix of ████
████ instruments, from a bodhran and daf to cello, ████
████ with their uses rooted in their inherent ████
████ acoustic properties. Tones also essentially ████
████ built his own sample pack for the percussion ████
████ patterns, working with drummer Jack Baker ████
████ (Bonobo, Kelis, Alice Russell, Planet Battagon) ████
████ on an intensive two-day session. ████
████ ████
████ Tones is a Houndstooth stalwart, and Dragons is ████
████ his fourth full-length album on the label, ████
████ along with a string of 12ös and EPs. His first ████
████ album was Mosaic in 2014, followed by Embers in ████
████ 2017, and Loma in 2018. Originally from the ████
████ North Of England, for the last few years he has ████
████ worked from The Castle, his studio an hour ████
████ outside Bristol/Bath, where he can both forage ████
████ his own food and find the headspace to make ████
████ music and experiment with modern technology. He ████
████ is currently recording a new album with his ████
████ trio Snow Ghosts, and a soundtrack for a ████
████ Netflix documentary. ████
████ ████
████ Dragons is a new form of inter-disciplinary ████
████ album, which is neither wholly electronic nor ████
████ acoustic, sonic or visual, and pulls from an ████
████ equally diverse range of inspirations, from ████
████ texts such as Steven MithinÆs The Singing ████
████ Neanderthals and Margo Neale and Lynn KellÆs ████
████ Songlines to the 1982 animated film Flight of ████
████ Dragons. ôIÆm into putting music back into ████
████ history,ö Tones explains. ôI want to make you ████
████ think about what music is, what its purpose has ████
████ been. IÆm asking about the scientific aspect to ████
████ folklore and ancient knowledge, and looking at ████
████ why itÆs still useful. This album is a doorway ████
████ û if you choose to listen like that.ö ████
