Milieu - Wind Over Hill (2018)

An unexpected album that materialized from session recordings for the Milieu album Elide ( milieumusic.bandcamp.com/album/elide ), transmuting late Summer evenings in the White Pillar Workshop into sonic seasoning and sub-bass balm. Having the studio half underground, and half on the precipice of a steep ravine brings with it a sense of being surrounded by Earth and nature. Trees filled sometimes with the rushing valley wind, and others, with blue hour skies and fireflies...but always, a sensation of being deep inside something. The Workshop drones on, ever pulsing with analog waves and echoes of distant ocean shores, lapping on empty beaches. The fantasy of escapism, ripe for the claiming, to be explored night after night, moment to moment, like pages in a sedative book.
