Artifacts & Uranium
‘The Gateless Gate’
Following on from Artifacts & Uranium (2021) & Panscosmology (2022)
‘The Gateless Gate’completes this trilogy of remote experimentation.
Two side long compositions, composed of Organs,
Synths, Bass, Guitars, Drums, H-Delays and the Behringer Wasp.
Side A is laid back repetition, layered guitar ascending, tremolo organs and gated synths.
That descends in to horror show choir and waster feedback guitars.
Flip side B starts a pastoral, Popol Vuh harmonic structure of accession. Viola drones balance assist the climb courtesy of Martin Ash.
Transitions in to a later period AshRa, bass lines and higher stereo delayed guitar freak-outs.
Fred Laird - Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussive Guitars, Drums, Sun Gong, Mix and Production.
Mike Vest - Bass, Synth, Lead Guitars and H- Delays.

‘...heavily involved in the underground experimental,
psychedelic and lo-fi, kosmische and krautrock scenes.
Their projects have produced music that is heavy dark, avant-garde with intense guitar solos but they also have explored ambient music
with deep space chill sounds and meditative intention’
ThePsychRock.com
‘...adding a thick wall of sound approach with guitars washing across the mix
punctuated by electronics and grooving bass riffs.
There are also a few ambient influenced tracks here where heavy use of echo and delay
create a dense flowing landscape.’
