about

Soriah had an instrument made of welded metal rod with a contact microphone for amplification. This was run through an Eventide Eclipse and is the heavy drone that anchors this piece. He also had an out-of-tune autoharp with a pickup that also appears on the three improvisations. Sometimes it's nice when things are not in tune.

Sometimes I wonder what motivated us to pick up his instruments when he wasn't there and start playing them. I'm glad we did. Don't leave VOE alone in your studio.

As an interesting footnote to this weekend in Portland; after the show with Soriah, he took us to an underground absynthe bar. This was literally in someone's basement. One of the best post show parties I've had. This is obviously where the title of this track originates.

Extraordinary when 40 years into (just one of) their career(s) (they all have vocations outside of music), some of the best ideas and implementation of those are readily flowing. I couldn't be more pleased to support and enjoy what they've done, what they are doing, and what they've yet to show us. Highest recommendation. Anthony Childs

supported by 4 fans who also own “Improvisation I: Absynthe Dreams in Aspic”

Troum, the reigning kings of deep, long-form drone ambient, are in top-notch form here as they collaborate with veteran composer Peter Andersson to produce a luminous, mesmerising album that is as close to perfection as it's possible to get. Sublime! Words can't possibly do it justice. Give this masterpiece your rapt attention from start to finish; you'll be richly rewarded. Danica Swanson
