there was a time when the world was suffused with light

by Patrick McMinn

supported by

AriaDreamGirl Recently found Patrick McMinn on a live online music show co-curated by one of the members of Matmos, where he was busy amplifying the harmonics of an old rusty oil drum. Come to find out he is a master of atmosphere and soundplay. As the narrative of this album suggests, there is a haunting majesty in the soundscapes he crafts. So sit back and let this music take control of you, disorient you, give you the hope of resolution, and then snatch it away. Favorite track: behind every shape just out of sight.

There was a time when the world was suffused with light. Everything was pregnant with meaning, and there was a soft glow behind every shape just out of sight. That which wasn’t known could be known, or discarded without consequence to compress the world to a docile state. There is a sorrow in beginning to understand an objective truth, a shallow eclipsing darkness; dissolution of color onto an infinite plane
