Windy and Carl are known for their Post-Rock drone
explorations. Using organ, synths, guitar amplifiers, bass guitar,
electric guitar, effects pedals and the inherent noise generated
by all these instruments, they produce an ambient music that is
deceptively complex. Their work ranges from the decibel by
decibel wall of sound construction of a beerhall backroom live
performance to the comforting dreamtime lullaby in the bedroom
before sleep. THE DREAM HOUSE/DEDICATIONS TO FLEA is a
double disc set which presents a nuanced mixture of sustaining
chords, strumming guitar, E-bow tones, echo, reverb and field
recordings. The extended compositions deal with memory and
the landscape within. Close listening reveals subtle changes in
harmony, texture and volume, but as listeners we should not be
too concerned with the process by which this music is made.
Windy and Carl create instinctually, interested mainly in their
overall sound and the mood or state their music attempts to
sustain.
