171 – Black Holes

Struggled the past couple of days to make anything of note. The hacking of the site and the subsequent server changes, home tutoring Niall and the day job have all taken their toll. Whilst teaching Niall about Black Holes, he asked how one might sound. So, I took a big bunch of Number Station recordings, treated them to tons of effects in Live and then stretched them massively. I played this to him last night and said, I think it could be something like this, if there wasn’t a vacuum in the way. He said, ‘like a hoover’, Dad?

This is worth a late night listen at 50% on headphones. The 20 mins will fly by… if you love a nice bit of drone, that is!? ;)
