Arborist's Excavations

by Coppice Halifax

supported by

alternating.bit There are excellent releases by CH and then there are EPIC SERIES (See also Analog Botany, Deep Earth, Static Pharming, etc.) This is one of the latter. This special set is beyond just music, for me it possesses a therapeutic element of escape. Grainger likes to tread a murky line between melodically pleasant and distantly cold. I won't bother choosing a favorite as everything here works and it's a big set of filtered moods. The more I listen the more I feel the value of this investment.

Limited Edition 10xCD-R Wooden Box Set [Stamped & Numbered]
Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
A very special and unique wooden lidded box, bearing custom ink stamping and text stickers, which contains ten (10) CD-Rs collecting deep Coppice Halifax remixes of music issued as Milieu or Brian Grainger, often in supporting roles on expanded/remastered reissues. The tenth disc contains previously unreleased mixes of/for the Milieu album A Dusty Box Of Old Memories, at this moment in time completely exclusive to this set. Each disc comes packaged in a windowed white or black paperboard jacket, with one of ten different and exclusive glossy photographic 4x5" print inserts, which will not be replicated elsewhere. Only FOUR (4) copies of this monolithic set have been assembled, and are being sold to pay for a new analog synthesizer in the White Pillar Workshop. The compleat contents of this box are as follows:

Cide One / White Shape (Remixes of Brother)
Cide Two / Postscript (Remixes of Pawleys Island) + A Blanket Of Infinite Repetitions [Excavation]
Cide Three / Varosha (Remix of Gunkajima)
Cide Four / Autumn Soil Feedback [Excavation] + Inside The Sun [Excavation] (from A Warm Wooden Hollow)
Cide Five / Workingman's Drone [Excavation Phase One]
Cide Six / Workingman's Drone [Excavation Phase Two]
Cide Seven / Blue Country Rain [Excavation] (from Silver Horns Heard Over Green Hills)
Cide Eight / Oceans [Excavation] (from Of The Apple)
Cide Nine / Buried [Excavation] (from Sun White Sun)
Cide Ten / Membrane + Dusty Acre (Remixes of A Dusty Box Of Old Memories)

Boxes are hand-numbered, and can be signed by the artist upon request. If you've missed out on a copy of this, and really need one for your collection, send an inquiry to brian(at)milieu-music.com and we'll see what we can do. Non-US customers, please be advised: Shipping for this item will be higher than usual, as it weighs 1.5 pounds all by itself.

about

After a decent amount of requests for it, I've decided to issue a public iteration of this compendium. ARBORIST'S EXCAVATIONS collects and compiles all of the Coppice Halifax remixes (to date) that have been drafted in support of Arboreal Digest series reissues, and a couple other Milieu Music releases. These remixes have developed into a sort of ritual, allowing me the opportunity to mine old master tapes of material for new and interesting shapes and textures. As with many CH recordings, it follows that these separately issued pieces come together exceptionally well to form a cogent whole, perhaps owing to the consistency of CH as a vessel.

In any case, the entirety of the set has been included here digitally, with the exception of the tenth disc (two remixes for the as-yet-unreleased remaster/reissue of A Dusty Box Of Old Memories), which has been kept as a physical box set exclusive out of respect to Illuminated Paths, the label soon issuing that expansive remaster. The digital release has been priced lower than the cost of its combined parts, 10 hours of music for under $100, making it a convenient bargain for those of you who do not wish to collect all of the associated reissues in order to obtain the CH mixes.
