Frogtoon Music Album Info: Embers

Embers The 2017 Album From Throwing Snow Is A Conceptually Imaginative And Musically Atmospheric Recording That Draws Stimulus From Laws And Patterns Of The Natural World. Excelling Creatively From The Freedom And Restrictions Of Applying Aspects Of These Elements Embers Emerges Vividly From The Processes Employed In Its Creation. Recorded In Daddry Shield County Durham Sounds Captured In The Surrounding Area Became Part Of The Music. Rain Is Transformed Into White Noise At One Point A Melody Line Is Mimicked By A Starling - All The Result Of Endless Processes And Cycles. The Techniques Used In Creating Embers Allegorically Mirror These Processes Reproducing The Way Materials Are Reused In The Natural World. Tracks Are Born Live And Then Die Only To Be Reborn Into A New Form. All The Tracks Have Similar Counterparts Whether In Structure Dynamics Or Melodies. Arpeggios Self-Evolve And Are Interconnected With Randomness Introduced Utilising Two Similar Pairs Of Synthesizers So That Their Cycles Are Ever Changing And Naturally Evolving. Roughly An Hour Long The Album's Start And End Appear The Same Allowing It To Cycle Endlessly. The Vinyl Edition Has Been Created So That The Listener Can Mix The Album Without Breaks Across Two Turntables. The Artwork Itself Is An Interpretive Score Of The Music Another Medium To View The World From A Different Angle.
