Visitations by David Colohan

Limited edition double tape bringing together all four of David Colohan's 'Visitations' series....evocative and haunting electronic soundscapes that are both kosmische and pastoral...

"The Shoreside Visitation

Must admit that I’m a little disappointed in myself for missing the previous ‘visitations’ in this series, this being the fourth entitled ‘the Shoreside Visitation’. Collecting together a quintet of softly serene suites, it was ‘at the mouth of all rivers’ which piqued our initial interest when checking the track listing on pre-playing, guest vocals by Dom Cooper, of course fresh from his appearance with Zosia Sztykowsk on that imminent ‘a quietened journey’ set through the a year in the country folk. Beautifully choreographed yet forlornly bruised there’s no escaping the ache that glides to rest upon this most tearful and wounded of listening moments, a gracefall glacial shrouded in a silently withdrawn haloing whose fading glimmer dims with each passing pause as it departs into the ethereal mist to rest with the softly solemn sighs of Mr Cooper leading from the front. That said by our much humbled reckoning, it’s ‘phantom signal’ that provides the pick of the pack, an entrancing eerie strangely absent from that aforementioned A Year in the Country gathering, not least because its haunting and nostalgic call signs are bathed with a glow of regret and solace
that perfectly captures the stilled, quiet majesty of the land whilst simultaneously serving as their song of neglect.'

The Riverside Visitation

You may know the Irish musician David Colohan from Agitated Radio Pilot, Raising Holy Sparks, United Bible Studies, Taskerlands, Meitheal, Gorges and his many solo projects. His music is mostly in the experimental folk corner, but it is quite broad. Now he releases the mini The Riverside Visitation on the experimental and more electronically oriented sub-label Sleep FUSE from the already adventurous label Reverb Worship. He presents one long piece of just under 19 minutes. With all kinds of (vintage) synthesizers (Moog, Crumar Orchestrator, Doepfer Dark Time, Mellotron) and electronics, he manufactures a sound landscape full of drones, melted orchestrations and reflective psychedelic electronics. Think of a mix of Celer, A Winged Victory For The Sullen and William Basinski. It produces a jewel that grabs your throat.' Jan William Broek, subjectivisten.nl"
