███▓ ▓█▀
███▓ Husk is the first product of an ongoing ▓█
███▓ collaboration between Jonathan Coleclough and ▓█
███▓ murmer (US born composer Patrick McGinley.) ▓█
███▓ They first met in 2002 after appearing on the ▓█
███▓ compilation LP Chaleur, and soon began work on ▓█
███▓ the material that would become Husk. Sharing a ▓█
███▓ fascination with using a found sound in their ▓█
███▓ music, Husk includes recordings of ▓█
███▓ refrigerators, thunderstorms, sheep, car horns, ▓█
███▓ ferryboats, windblown sand, crackling charcoal, ▓█
███▓ as well as more conventional instrumental ▓█
███▓ sounds including a variety of percussion ▓█
███▓ instruments. Much of the music started as live ▓█
███▓ improvisation, in one case during a radio ▓█
███▓ broadcast on McGinley's regular Framework slot ▓█
███▓ on the London-based radioart station Resonance ▓█
███▓ FM. These live recordings have been carefully ▓█
███▓ edited and mixed over several years. ▓█
███▓ ▓█
███▓ Husk is packaged in a 6-panel Digisleeve ▓█
███▓ featuring photographs by Patrick McGinley. ▓█
███▓ ▓█
███▓ The first 200 copies of æHuskÆ include a second ▓█
███▓ CD of pieces recorded over the same period. A ▓█
███▓ further 47 copies (only 25 of them for sale) ▓█
███▓ include both CDs plus an additional uniquely ▓█
███▓ packaged CDR, each one containing a unique ▓█
███▓ composition. The music for these CDRs is based ▓█
███▓ entirely on recordings made in McGinleyÆs home ▓█
███▓ in London during April 2006, his final month ▓█
███▓ there before moving to France. ▓█

███▓ ------------------------- ▓█
███▓ ▓█
███▓ Jonathan Coleclough reprises his role as a ▓█
███▓ drone extraction specialist in collaborating ▓█
███▓ with the American ex-patriot living in London ▓█
███▓ Patrick McGinley (aka murmer). From his ▓█
███▓ previous collaborative efforts with Colin ▓█
███▓ Potter, Andrew Chalk, Tim Hill, and most ▓█
███▓ recently Lethe, Coleclough has demonstrated an ▓█
███▓ uncanny knack for being able to distill eerily ▓█
███▓ sonorous frequencies, impressionistic tones, ▓█
███▓ and smeared ambience from any given source ▓█
███▓ material or field recording, providing the ▓█
███▓ basis for his supernal and occasionally ▓█
███▓ darkened compositions. McGinley also shapes his ▓█
███▓ own work through the manipulation of field ▓█
███▓ recordings and activated environmental sounds, ▓█
███▓ often emphasizing the tactility intrinsic to ▓█
███▓ each of his sources. ▓█
███▓ ▓█
███▓ Together, they make for a formidable duo in ▓█
███▓ their transformation of annotated recordings ▓█
███▓ from refrigerators, thunderstorms, sheep, car ▓█
███▓ horns, ferryboats, windblown sand and crackling ▓█
███▓ charcoal. While none of the four tracks on Husk ▓█
███▓ specify the exact source materials, there is ▓█
███▓ enough inference from the given sounds to ▓█
███▓ connect the dots, if you are so inclined. Yet ▓█
███▓ it is the drone, and particular Coleclough's ▓█
███▓ production of the drone, that makes Husk such a ▓█
███▓ captivating listen. The 20-minute title track ▓█
███▓ opens the album as a sinewy composition, ▓█
███▓ whereby distant metallic clangs and windswept ▓█
███▓ debris bounce across the stereo field as a ▓█
███▓ resonant shimmer multiplies into a chorus of ▓█
███▓ singing electrons. Through an undulating series ▓█
███▓ of phasing shifts that mirrors what Coleclough ▓█
███▓ did on his previous solo outing Period, "Husk" ▓█
███▓ crescendos upon an aggregated and far more ▓█
███▓ threatening torrent of protracted sonic shadow. ▓█
███▓ ▓█
███▓ "Approaching Pecura" situates a vaporous drone ▓█
███▓ behind an occasional growl from something ▓█
███▓ sounding like a motor agitating a wire or ▓█
███▓ perhaps its DSP equivalent. This strategy of ▓█
███▓ layering a singular tactile event upon a ▓█
███▓ fluctuating tone has become commonplace within ▓█
███▓ the realm of dronescaping and is not Coleclough ▓█
███▓ & McGinley's finest effort. However, the two ▓█
███▓ return to the successful ways with the two ▓█
███▓ remaining extended compositions, "Fieldwork" ▓█
███▓ and "Germ." The latter finds an exquisite ▓█
███▓ interplay between smoldering charcoal and ▓█
███▓ frigid drops of rain through an tangled network ▓█
███▓ of hissing textures, while the former surges ▓█
███▓ with the bleak isolationist languages of Thomas ▓█
███▓ Koner. Barring a flaw here or there, Husk ▓█
███▓ stands as one of the finest drone-based records ▓█
███▓ of the year. ▓█
