Ned Milligan - Fricatives
Always on the edge of infinite expanse. This is the position the conscious exists. Each day we live, usually filled with responsibilities and tasks. These are the distractions keeping us away from exploring the ever present extent. Either within the mind or across vast distances of land, the formula stays relatively the same. Thoughts holding ground for the front porch hang out. One step through or over the home's threshold, the line representing the life we live and the places beyond. On this particular porch, described in the sonic composition Fricatives, Ned Milligan beautifully illustrates how thought provoking the world around us truly is.
There are nine tracks on Fricatives, but the composition is really one full and complete experience. Wind chimes sounding in the gentle but steady breeze, rain casually misting the ground beyond. There is a fluency of order on Fricatives, a randomness mysteriously having a purpose. These field recordings have been expertly caressed by a conscious hearing much more. Sounds representing thoughts and places outside of the daily routine, with skilled care becoming a focal gateway. A portable and instantaneous sonic orb, allowing the mind a conduit away from the monotonous day to day. Ned Milligan has created and added gorgeous transitions, while maintaining the raw feeling. The "being there" real emotion exists with clarity and strength.
Released on Gertrude Tapes at the end of 2019. A most tranquil composition, holding many repeat listens in it's pockets. Copies are currently available from the label.
