alternating.bit Like a thick wool blanket thrown over a vintage set of stereo speakers in an aircraft hangar, this softly distorted, restrained and soothing collection of mixes and edits offers a familiar sonic landscape similar to the Deep Earth series. Highly recommend. Favorite track: Green Shape [Radialtone Mix].

about

Throughout 2017, I discretely circulated twelve Coppice Halifax samplers - one each month - via printed Bandcamp download codes hidden in packages containing shipped CD-Rs and tapes from Milieu Music, Recycled Plastics, CO_RD Tapes and Psoma Psi Phi. This monthly series was called Valley Filter, and functioned as a sort of alternate-universe set of "what if" CH albums, where five tracks were picked and organized into cohesive runtimes, despite their disparate origins. Each month, one of these five tracks would be a previously unreleased track, often a version/alt. mix of an album track, taken from the literally hundreds of hours of offcuts/outtakes/etc I have generated through the years. Sometimes, the tracks would simply be in a different key and tempo, or have a different mix than the album version, but other times, the tracks were more or less brand new pieces - parallel universes forever bound to their counterparts in our universe.

And so, here lies a compilation of all twelve exclusive cuts from the 2017 Valley Filter series, augmented by two more unreleased cuts that are exclusive to this set. The word "filter" is used here in multiple meanings: First, to imply association with the Valley Filter series, which subsequently refers to the fact that the releases were the collected results of a filtering process, such as gold panning, where only the best cuts were used. Secondly, the word represents the often unsung lead instrument in my studio, the envelope filter. While my mixer is usually considered my main vehicle for creating these Halifaxian microverses, it would be not nearly as sufficient were it not for creative use of filters in both the parametric equalizers, as well as onboard DSP filters I have created custom patches for, and further still my external filter processors by Akai, Moog, Digitech and Boss, and those present in my Korg, Arturia and Dave Smith Instruments analog machines. Filters dictate the physical shape and movement of many of my sounds, from the ground up, and so it only made sense to be able to finally give them the veneration they deserve. If Sunn O))) are a band obsessed with amplifier worship, then Coppice Halifax is the founder of The First Church Of Filter Worship.

Come in, get comfortable, and melt.
