Skeletons Out - In Remembrance Of Me [Students Of Decay - 2008]

In Remembrance of me is a dense, swampy and often atmospherically licked sonic stew of noise and drone textures built with only the use of vinyl and tapes, the pair of Jay Sullivan and Howard Stelzer building up a rich, strange and haunted sonic world.

The piece lasts in total just over 36 with the pair managing to keep it interesting, hypnotic and strange through- out. From the outset it feels like you’ve tapped in some strange sonic other world that’s has a heavy dank and pressing feeling to it. Textures weave, slur, bob and worm past and around you like the reality it’s self is alive and unsound, and you should at any moment be prepared to fall or be sucked into an even odder world. The sound world is always shifting, slide and in movement, detail that at first seems alien and slurred become oddly comforting before melt into other textures. There are also slight hints at more harmonic and structured elements that surface ever so often before getting sucked back in once more.

Through you can detect the tape and vinyl origins of the material here and there for the most part it mangers to remain bizarre, otherworld and often suffocating. Feeling like it’s growing into you or you’re growing into it. A satisfying earthy yet otherworld excise in dense sonic texturing that seems to at first cake you in it’s muddy tones, then slowly but surely swallows you limb by limb into it’s dense and dank quick sand interior.
