Dilloway, Aaron

***"Long awaited release of Aaron Dilloway’s foreboding ’ambient’ works with Psychic Sounds' initial selection entitled Medicine Stunts: Two sprawling sides of atmospheric practices & mysterious meditations fully mastered and pressed on wax for the first time, all which include the glacial ‘Stunt 1’ of sparse industrial factory mesmerization invoking shadowed moments reminicent of the beloved David Lynch & Alan Splet's Eraserhead soundtrack. Dilloway's tape chops glide into glass harmonic chamber echos calling on such spirited reverberations by way of crystallophone, Aeolian harp, or even frequencies recalling Coil's experimental investigations on the legendary Soviet-era ANS photoelectric synthesizer. In this instance, a distant alien cooing along the liminal glassy seam is introduced alongside slow pumping mechanical wield, and further minimal creature calls reminiscent of the stranger field recordings documented on Folkways 'Sounds of the Sea' or Amphibian related releases.

Flipside 'Stunts 2 & 3' brings the gurgling & juggling metallic slabber warbled in a box bleeding into slight fuzz unknown, all which gently wades into a pulsating pump of squells.... it all certainly stirs a flavor of your regional moldy spook house attraction soundtrack crackling through the busted sound system. If this isn't enough for the adventurous listener , a suspenseful end event on the horizon offers us an unsettling whistle in the Old West Morricone ghost town. A beautifully haunted hallway of reflected recourse through the reality of the unsettling American jokes & labyrinths of now."
