Astronauts.
February 9, 2011, 0 comments
Arcseconds is the recording project of Calgary, Alberta native and current Berlin resident Mike Verdone. Jesse Locke of Montreal-based cassette label Planet of the Tapes recently sent over this marvelous outer space voyage of a track, the aptly titled Astronauts. The slow-burning, gently floating piece of drone and beautiful, slightly clipping synth patterns with heavily manipulated vocal snippets will be part of Arcseconds’ upcoming split C-40 with Montreal’s Sundrips. One of our favorite magicians of the visual, Hobo Cult/Moduli TV‘s Frank Ouelette, has produced the accompanying video, a stunning and absolutely fitting collage made up of footage from Terrence Rafferty’s seminal 1989 documentation For All Mankind: Fantastic Voyage. Taken together, this splendid audiovisual experience is among the most overwhelming things happening to us lately.
