This release begins a series of releases for Alluvial in which we will be reissuing old cassette materials and other rarities. The packaging is simple, but attractive and available at a lower price. Each will be available for one year from its date of issue, which is indicated in each release. This particular project stems from the Orogenetic Collective of artists involved in many facets of sound, the physical arts, theory and installation. For this release, AS is Seth Nehil and John Grzinich. It is a more electronic work, rather than incorporating the usual field recording methods and manipulation of physical materials usually associated with them. At 57 minutes, it is a set of compositions which are primarily made up of long, shifting drones, very satisfying. Roughly 200 of these where printed.

The text/story/myth about what the Alial Straa is found on the card inside the jacket is great, I love it when releases have pointed, relevant literature that succeeds in directing my imagination as I listen to the work. Like some surreal Tolkien/Native American myth….Alial Straa is a collaborative venture of Seth Nehil and John Grzinich. You might remember Grzinich from a colab with Mnortham, Stomach of The sky to be exact. I love this stuff; organic, spooky, sheltered natural-ambient. Struck stones, wind, rustling leaves and groaning gritty ambient swells and waves. A recording that reads like a deep, dark river, currents changing, scenery changing, sounds steady and physical but subtly different in each channel and inlet. Put this right next to IAM Umbrella, Augur, maybe a Rapoon with no beats? Great stuff. In a basic brown sleeve with card inside.
