Ascend by Rorquals

A new 15 minute composition written for the Rusted Drones Vol 1 compilation album. Ambient washes with piano melodies and organ drones, phased arpeggios, culminating in a crescendo of doom laden heavily distorted guitars.

Released on Rusted Tones Recordings this is what they say about the compilation -

'The idea for a recurring, curated series has been bubbling away in the background for quite some time. Rusted Drones Vol. 1 is the first of a series celebrating drone, featuring ~15 minutes of new sounds from each contributing artist. Through choosing a broad style open to interpretation, the content of Vol.1 varies from one artist to the next, each bringing their own styles, approaches, and instrumentation.'

The final few cassettes are still available directly from the label at the insanely low price of only £5 -

I was lucky enough to share this recording with some immensely talented artists, so please check out the whole release, and the rest of the Rusted Tones back catalogue - it is all incredible!
