    ► This evolves in broad, patient movements, with layers of electric guitars drifting like slow, rolling waves. Each line melts into the next, forming a dense yet fluid sound mass that feels both expansive and intimate. Sighs of light tension, sustained tones and gentle feedback create a sense of endless motion, as if the music were breathing at its own pace. There’s a quiet emotional pull in the repetition, a feeling of calm tinged with longing. The track resists dramatic shifts, instead embracing gradual transformation.

    answering some questions. We have already observed his drone / ambient work here.

    [1. IDEA]

    ■ The A. O.: The track from “Atlas” that we prefer is “Desert Plain”. Can you tell us how it came to light?

    ► Perry Frank: Desert Plain was written and recorded during an evening session together with Leave No Shadows On The Ground.
    They were basically written with guitar, while making experiments with reverb and delay pedals on my pedalboard after watching a documentary about the Amazon deforestation.
    Main drones features a combination of the Strymon Cloudburst and the Hologram Electronics then I’ve added a bass line with the Volcakeys.
    Basically there are only three or four tracks in this song.
    I usually record my songs on tape cassettes with my Fostex X18 multitrack, often when they feature not so much tracks, then I record the tape on my Mac.
    Titles came to me while thinking about a future when all the trees have been cut down, all around there will be only desert with no shadows on the ground.

    ► This is a little, precious gem. There’s this graceful melodic passage built around the 4th, 5th and minor 7th degrees of a major scale, creating a sound that feels both sublimely uplifted and subtly bittersweet. The sustained drones provide a warm, enveloping foundation, allowing the melody to hover above like a slow-moving light. God is in the details.
