about

Following the completion of the nine phases in the ASTRAL SALONS series, it felt strange to run a monthly series for only three-quarters of the year, when all prior monthly serials have been a full 12 month run. So, the idea was drafted earlier in the Spring to finish out the series with three extended encore releases, each a full album-length session of Halifaxian deep listening that would contrast against the more melodic and densely-designed EPs with a more minimalistic approach.

With this in mind, I'm happy to publish TRIBUTARY TWO of THREE in the epilogue of ASTRAL SALONS. This volume, QUARTZ PHASE, echoes the previous phase (COBALT) in that it recalls the prior season within a piece recorded following its passing. Here, QUARTZ PHASE utilizes a field recording of an intense thunderstorm in June (following the touchdown of a tornado nearby) to conjure up the Summer heat and humidity alongside a pulsing dub rhythm, rainsoaked chords and splashy percussion. Topical (some may say obvious) influences on QUARTZ PHASE are Pub's classics "Summer" and "Lunch" as well as Deepchord's varied and prolific 12"s on Soma, all channeled through a very Halifaxian landscape, painted with raw elements like yellow sunshine, blue rainwater and red electricity. A Summer blanket of deep techno and ambient dub to curl up with as the Autumn blows its leafy wind through the valley, happy to be remembered in keeping the warmer weather at a comfortable distance.
