Stuart Bowditch‘s ever-reliable Courier Sounds label releases the Symbiosis split LP from Rorquals and Dead Circuits on 20 April 2020. The album features three tracks from each artist, two of which are collaborations with each other, and showcases their similarities and differences as improvising live electronic musicians.
“Rorquals is the exploration of experimental drone music through amplified guitar, organ and electronics to create the honest, the intense and all the encompassing” ; “Dead Circuits is about writing and performing music in the moment. I record my performances in a single take with ‘on the fly’ arrangement using hand-built drone synths, effects and modular synths”, they explain, and their collaborative track “Collision” is premiered below:Symbiosis track listing:
