hello,
my project is called 'magwheels' it is dark ambient/noise created with
processed guitars, field recordings, and noise.
from reviews:
--- "post-apocalyptic ambient noise with a warm emotional glow...", "A
mix of cinematic beauty and decay is the easiest way to describe the
music of Magwheels.
A world where post-rock guitars meet noise drones head on."
-wetworksezine.com
--- "Slow drones diving in a mist of noises and bleak, scarce and
melancholic guitars form the core...", "combination of noise and
emotional atmospheres. Long, encompassing and hypnotic, saturated
soundscapes fill the air in a calm but rich way. Rich in low
frequencies and small grinding details...", "Far from any kitsch or
gothic 'darkness', Magwheels sounds like a bastard child of Godspeed
You Black Emperor and Swans, left alone to starve and reduced to a
definitely lo-fi and destructured music." - recycleyourears.com
---"When not pursuing pink "Hello Kitty" hues, huge lumbering delay
lines stumble into tar pits of distortion until the entire vibrating
mass is hauled down into the dark and screaming murk. The amount of
feedback used in the reverb algorithms is such that this should be a
constant V/Vm digital clip fest but however this was ultimately
achieved the result is warm and thick enough (production-wise) to be
poured over ice cream. The lighter sections are almost childish with
their blissful enthusiasm, upwards little plinking riffs which sound
more toy piano than six string and which almost embarrass the listener
they are so rosy cheeked. As hope fades however the incoming storm
front threatens to atomize any boundaries between form and movement, a
solid wall of ash, blinding light and violently gnashing torrents." -
