*blah blah blah re-ripped using the correct lame/eac setting
After years of outer space exploration in Yume Bitsu and
Surface of Eceyon, as well as stints as a hired gun for a
multitude of artists including Dirty Projectors, Jackie-O
Motherfucker and Devendra Banhart, Adam Forkner decided to
turn his focus inward and began to record solo material. And
focus he did, working at a dizzying pace that culminated in
the production of the 5CD/1DVD White Rainbow Box (2006
Marriage Records). The remarkable thing about that album was
not that it was 4.5 hours long, but that the overwhelming
majority of it was of extraordinary quality and not mere
filler. With the release of ?Eternal Now, White Rainbow
has surpassed typical solo project territory and is now a
virtual elemental force. At a somewhat brief 71 minutes, his
kranky debut pulses and flows with mantric chants, clattering
percussions, sighing sustains and guitar leads unashamed of
their scorching transcendence. He breathes new life into
archaic sub-genres such as progrock, new age, and hippie folk
incantations, while never stooping to the negative aspects of
any of them, and at the same time remaining a step ahead of
the technologically crippled and virtuosuo-less looper pedal
scene. Prism of Eternal Now leaves behind the bounds of
gravity for a free floating meditational headtrip of inner
space exploration.Note: the vinyl edition of ?Prism..? is
available via Marriage Recordscontext: White Rainbow is the
solo moniker of Adam Forkner. He runs the Yarnlazer cd-r label
with Honey Owens [Valet]. He works, lives and plays in
Portland, Oregon, a small rural village near the bustling
metropolis of Astoria.
quotes: "The real treasure in Adam Forkner's work is his
innate ability to capture the perfect tone of sounds, whether
it be a flanged guitar or an ancient drum machine."
indieworkshop"Warm synths and reverbed-out layers of guitar
pave a solid foundation for drum loops, vocal tracks, and
various other instruments to weave in and out of at their own
pace. Tinymixtapes"Each movement of ambient sound and
melodic drone becomes impossible to dissect. It becomes a part
of your memories." Tinymixtapes
