by Jettenbach

supported by

Access to Arasaka Dark, ominous, apocalyptic, Lovecraftian, bleak, and beautiful. Unnerving sounds are balanced perfectly by melodic atmospheres and well-crafted drums.

A great wasteland soundtrack.
Favorite track: All That Might Have Been and a Hope That in Time May Yet Still Come to Pass.

Elysian Fields - KXCI 91.3 FM Another auditory feast. I find the trademark depth of sound design by Jettenbach to have greatly increased with this release. Favorite track: All That Might Have Been and a Hope That in Time May Yet Still Come to Pass.

about

A Voicenote to the Hierophant is a love letter to someone who doesn't exist, a fever dream that was over before it
started.
A fool, inexperienced in the ways of the universe, manifests their ideal soulmate and stumbles across them but the
stars are not in alignment, the trauma of the past is all too figural and their lessons are only half learned.

The Hierophant, themselves an enigma, initially intrigued by the almost adolescent charm of the fool slowly
recognises their distance left to travel. The Hierophant, in this case an earth sign, fixed as they are, self aware and
yet still compassionate to the needs of the fool, withdraws.

The fool, lost yet wanting to learn, knowing both the destination and the road yet untravelled in order to reach it,
seeking to be better than they are yet still craving connection in the hopes of achieving it, wrestling with what they
know must be.

And so the dream ends. The fool, mutable as always, withdraws back into their solitude. Further lessons to learn,
but to learn alone. Overcoming the trauma of the past, reconciling who they wish to be with who they are. As for
the Hierophant... who knows.. Another soul on their own journey, maybe further along the road and unlikely to be
looking back.

Tales from the Algorithm

This comment is based on the limited pre-release tracks. D&J are back with their sonic calling card at the beginning of this track. To me, it sounds like processed metal sliding on an upright bass string. Definitely a strong hook. Look forward to the rest of th release in January. Elysian Fields - KXCI 91.3 FM

It's great to see these selections in one place. I'm not one for florid reviews, but this track really feels like a theatrical audio piece. You feel like you're in the middle of the action. Elysian Fields - KXCI 91.3 FM
