Soleil Satan \u2013 Les Couronnes De L\u2019Aube <\/em>CD Cipher Productions 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cipher Productions has released yet another previously unknown project for me, so the promo text is then useful in providing context by placing Soleil Satan from the culturally disputed Basque region of Spain. It also clarifies the project is helmed by Miguel A. Garc\u00eda: a sound artist \u2018working mainly in the field of electro-acoustic composition and improvisation\u2019<\/em>, while this album \u2018is a solemn ambient exploration of voice, guitar and electronics, recorded in a deserted factory in Bilbao\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n

On this apparent debut album, an organ-like sustained drone opens proceedings and further sees other sparse acoustic, percussive and reverberating elements flit and weave. Equally the depth of the sound production functions to give a strong impression of a cavernous and echoed space, which obviously typifies the chosen abandoned factory location for the recording. Later on, sparse whispered vocals appear, as do guitars, yet the strings are played in an atypical fashion to provide for elongated and abstract droning effect. This general approach found on the opening tracks continues through the balance of the album\u2019s 40 or so interlinked minutes. Here creaking sounds and a myriad of unidentifiable atonal elements bleed into the sonic frame and very much embedding the impression of experimental and broadly ambient framed post-industrial soundscapes. Although in a few moments the tone does push upwards towards headier and noisier sonic peaks.<\/p>\n

A pro-pressed CD and four-panel mini-gatefold sleeve round out the visual presentation of what is an enjoyable and strongly engaging introduction to Soleil Satan.<\/p>\n
