Both CD releases ('first by a whisper, then by a storm' and 'he spoke in dead tongues') were compiled from hours and hours of studio try-outs and rehearsals. Before any of the official releases, I studied and explored the possibilities intensely on how to establish the drone music of Fear Falls Burning. Using different set-ups (selection of the pedal effects, the routing, etc.) I recorded a huge collection of drones (most of them I deleted at once, some of them made it onto one of the albums) and I'll periodically podcast a series of outtakes. This is the first.
this is fear falls burning's personal library of unreleased outtakes, unedited live performances, exclusive studio sessions and new guitar drones.
Fear Falls Burning
"Imagine if you gene spliced Glenn Branca and Robert Fripp and then scared the crap out of this newborn entity." soniccuriosity.com - With all the power,noise,aggression and subtlety that comes from a single man performing real-time on the electric guitar through a maze of pedal effects, notes and chords shifting and multiplying over time into dense and trance-inducing walls of sound. Fear Falls Burning succeeds in uncovering a language that stretches time and brings the listener to the edge multiple times, entrancing with the repetitive yet pure sonic presence of the electric guitar. Fear Falls Burning sets himself apart from the current drone scene by using different techniques and an expansive collection of pedaleffects. The zen-induced result of a harsh method of musical effacement: Lonely tones drift through harmoniously singing clouds of sustain, black streams of crunching distortion flow underneath heavenly harmonics, minuscule melodies appear and drift off. With no overdubs or post-production effects involved, the compositions progress in an organic and natural way, giving the music a special feeling and soul that is missing from many recordings these days. This is Fear Falls Burning.
