Bio
.. .. ..OUT NOW:.. .. .. .......... My latest release is a 3-inch on Kendra Steiner Editions named "Minus"..... The label says:.... "Recorded especially for KSE, MINUS’s four drones are deep and cavernous, full of molten flow and swirling pools, but with lots of room to breathe, and having a three-dimensional quality because of percussion textures (of wood, of metal, of porcelain) which seem to occupy the foreground of each audio landscape. The listener can create his/her own mental images while bathing in the audio heavy-water—I imagine abandoned nuclear reactors, sandy winds blowing civilization’s junk across a desert, underground rivers of chemical waste, meditation in the midst of a strip-mining operation. MINUS doesn’t sound especially like any other Brandal release, showing again what a eclectic talent he is, always juxtaposing new elements, always creating new and different sound environments.".... To order, visit KSE ....HERE............. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.... "Furnace" is a C40 tape, available now from the excellent 2:00AM tapes. The label says:........ ...."Boiler room ruminations from veteran Andreas Brandal (Flesh Coffin, Hour of the Wolf, Lupus Golem, and loads more). Glowing metallic cogitations broadcast over rusty, desserted number stations. Limited to 45 copies. Chrome tapes.".............. ..Check out sound samples and other good stuff ..HERE..................................... .. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.... My album "Sunken Gardens" is out now on the UK label Apollolaan. As always with this label, the release comes with amazing hand made covers by Matthew Shaw... Click ..HERE.. to visit Apollolaan for a sound sample, and to order..... .......... -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.... ...... "Into Thin Air" is a C37 tape, out now on the American label Sweat Lodge Guru..... They describe the album like this:.... Before we get all hyperbolic in here, let’s just assert that “Into Thin Air” is (all biases aside) one of the finest cassette releases we have ever heard. A thirty-seven minute, hand-held tour through haunted parallels that have only ever before been revealed to Andreas Brandal. No noisy, screeching specters can be found here, though. Just gossamer wraiths spooling cryptic melodies off the tape reel and into the miasma. Fucking fantastic! Limited to 100 pro-dubbed cassettes.".... To check out a soundclip, and to order, visit Sweat Lodge Guru ....HERE............. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.... ...... My C40 tape, titled "Underground" is out on Rotifer Cassettes. They say: "Turbulent measures bring about unusually relaxing meditations.".... To check out a short sound sample, and to order, visit Rotifer ....HERE........... -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.... Still available:.... ...... The US label Existential Cloth just released a split tape with me and Matt McKeever's wonderful solo project Aghori!.... Drones, synths, loops..... Visit Existential Cloth for sound samples and to order ....HERE........... -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.... ...... My album "Locks And Caves" is out now on the Australian label Left (field) Recordings. I consider this to be kind of a "sequel" to my album "This Is Not For You" (Eh? Records, 2008). Quite mellow, and at times even a bit melodic. If you have heard "This Is Not For You", you know what to expect! .... $6 worldwide shipping included! Ltd to 75 copies, and comes in a silk screened slip case.....Visit Left (field) Recordings to order, and listen to the track "A Cold Shadow" ....HERE......... -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.... .... ...... This is a C60 tape on the German label Licht Und Stahl called "Shipwrecks".... "From subtile organic drones to dramatic harshness. "Shipwrecks" is a very skillful blend of post-industrial soundworks, perfectly illustrating the title of the album. Limited edition of 50 numbered copies.".... ..Visit ....Licht Und Stahl.... to check out this great label, and all their amazing releases!.... -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.... ...... Once again I am teaming up with my Croatian mate Harold Gojani for a split. This is a tape on the Belgian label GELUIDSOVERLAST!!!! Two long tracks of foggy soundscapes presented with the modest and discrete title "De Caelo et Ejus Mirabilibus et de inferno, ex Auditis et Visis". .... Visit GELUIDSOVERLAST!!!! and check it out ....HERE........... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .... ...... I am very happy to announce this album on the great label Dumpster Score! Two long pieces dedicated to a truly spiritual guy. The label says:.... [Andreas] brings us his newest full length dedicated to Einer Nielsen, who supposedly could talk with ghost and had the photos to prove it... Ever shifting waves of deep sub-bass, atonal drones, and heavy as fuck harsh loops interweave in a continuous mix of claustrophobic, bone crunching sound. Cascading junk metal onslaughts work their way in so slowly that before you know what happened your life has flashed before your eyes and your staring at your lifeless body lying on the other side of the room. With two tracks clocking in at over 40 minutes, this is a killer slab of dark and atmospheric noise!.... Hand stamped high quality discs, with b/w artwork in vinyl sleeve. Artwork by Andrew Quitter. Limited to 50 hand numbered copies..... Visit Dumpster Score to check out sound samples, and many other great releases ....HERE........... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .... ...... This is a C43 tape on the amazing American label Stunned. It's called "Secrets Of the Snow", and here's what the label says:.... "A silhouetted form beckons us into the darkened forests of Norway, and we follow anyway, sensing that secrets may be revealed in the thawing undergrowth. Seed and larvae which were burrowed deep all winter respond to the warming of Earth’s crust, and before one knows it, the snow rescinds to sprouting greens & creeping things. Who lead us here? How did he know this would happen now? Questions only Andreas Brandal could immediately satisfy, and does just so, on his newest tape release proudly presented here. Since the early nineties, Brandal has orchestrated significant visions of both seasonal & dimensional shift in his soundcraft. Likewise, ‘Secrets of the Snow’ weaves a tableaux of wilderness abandonment, sentient mycelia, and complex drone-frequencies emitted via planetary groans. Capturing these rich, subtle intimations on tape comes only with the extensive focus and practice Andreas Brandal is suspected to have had in those groves of intrigue he coaxes from perennially. Limited edition of 111 pro-dubbed & imprinted c43 tapes with double-sided color jcard and insert.".... Visit Stunned, and check out all their wonderful stuff. You won't be disappointed!.. http://stunnedrecords.blogspot.com/ (cut and paste) ...... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...... ...... My first solo LP, "Reverse the Night", is out now on Droehnhaus!.... They describe the album like this:.... Clear, cold! These droning soundscapes from north are a very own interpretation of experimenting on sound. Much reduced - reaching intensity! A fantastic listening experience!.. An experimental soundtrack for your mind!.... The album comes in a black sleeve with inlay, sticker and print, and with stamped labels... Many thanks to Alwin at Droehnhaus for all his great work on this LP!.... Visit the label, and check out all their wonderful releases ....HERE......... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ....
