Coldstream is a London-based musician and sound artist Dan Mumford who creates his music using guitars, melodica, piano, old tape recordings, synths, percussion and field recordings. To date Dan has releases out on Under the Spire, Audio Gourmet, Aether Everywhere & Vikomt.

Drown/Lights ep contains two tracks both recorded from the same session which are based around treated guitar and bass guitar, but also incorporate some old synths, piano and organ. What makes these tracks interesting is the field recordings that are woven into them; these were recorded during a trip through the Cascade Mountains in the Pacific North West of America and are recordings of forests, wildlife and AM radio broadcasts from the area.

Talvihorros - Solo Guitar Improvisation II (Rural Colours, 2011)

1 Solo Guitar Improvisation II 16:43

'Solo Guitar Improvisation II' is the first release of 2011 from the enigmatic Talvihorros who has previous releases on Hibernate, My Dance The Skull & Benbecula.

The track was recorded in a single live take with no overdubs and minimal post-production. A prepared electric guitar, played with various objects including battery-operated devices such as the Ebow, Buddha Machine and a shortwave radio, then sent through a complex chain of effects pedals and loopers.

The result is a rich tapestry of textures, guitar melodies and waves of static combining to create a unique and modern take on live guitar improvisation.
