answering some questions. We have already observed his experimental / field recordings / drone work here.

[1. IDEA]
■ The A. O.: The track from “the brink” that we prefer is “it’s the thinnest and brittlest of veils”. Can you tell us how it came to light?
► end, red dress: I was messing around with a DIY shortwave radio I just assembled. Walking around in a remote field, listening to all kinds of sweeps and clicks and patterns that traveled through the ether… suddenly I stumbled upon this indiscernible transmission: there seemed to live someone buried in all that static. It’s that sudden rush of discovery, but feeling it slip away at the same time. I tried to get a clearer signal by repositioning around in all kinds of manners, but the signal was lost. Blips and swooshes remained. The transmission itself was probably just foreign radio talk on some mundane topic… but it’s the thrill of the unexpected. Luckily I was recording as well so it could become the starting point of this track: it just expands on that particular moment, as you so astutely observed yourself.
