Deathprod - Morals and Dogma (2004, Remastered 2017) [Hi-Res]

'Morals and Dogma' is a ritual. Ten years in the making, it contains four pieces, recorded between 1994 and 1997. This is Deathprod at full intensity, featuring an even more expansive and billowing sound as Sten transforms and blends the textures of violins, saw and harmonium. Pieces like “Dead Peoples Things” and “Tron” were revised numerous times, even though the very first versions of both were chosen for the final sequencing of the album. Both Ole Henrik Moe and Hans Magnus Ryan contribute with their unique approach to the violin, while Moe extends the metallic and textural qualities of “Cloudchamber,” utilizing a musical saw. The harmonium on “Orgone Donor” was recorded direct to cassette by Hans Magnus Ryan, and later multi-tracked with dual violins at Audio Virus LAB. “Cloudchamber” is layered with electronic treatments of the decay and noise, from a Maestro Echoplex tape-echo machine, and also lends it title from one of the beautifully crafted microtonal instruments of Harry Partch.

First released on Rune Grammofon in 2004, this has been pressed from the 2004 original high resolution master.
