STEVE HAUSCHILDT REVEALS DETAILS OF HIS NEW ALBUM, WHERE ALL IS FLED,
UPCOMING ON KRANKY 25 SEPT
  Steve Hauschildt announces his first new album since the late 2012 release of Sequitur. Where All Is Fled shall be released via kranky on 25th September.
   Although Where All Is Fled sonically harkens back to his earlier albums such as Rapt for Liquid Minister and Tragedy & Geometry, it slowly becomes apparent that it is also a divergence from those recordings.
 
LISTEN TO THE TITLE TRACK “WHERE ALL IS FLED”

Both the artwork and the music on this new work were heavily inspired by surrealist landscape paintings, early alchemical emblems, and recurring visions Steve had from dreams. The result is a pristine series of cascading melodies, fantastical terrains of layered lattices, and overlapping patterns of synthesizers superimposed with orchestral instrumentation. Hidden in the crevices of the album are processed crowd sounds, re-sampled text-to-speech synthesis, piano, and animal noises which reveal themselves after repeated listens and blur together notions of artificial and natural sound. While slowly unfurling, each sound is given it’s own place and space, never hurried, never cluttered.

The album is a modern kosmische milepost, and the most accomplished statement of Steve Hauschildt’s vision yet. Check out the artwork and track list below:
