PRESS RELEASE:
"The Static Silence is a trans-Atlantic collaboration between two noteworthy composers of the most recent shoegaze crop. Completed via airmail, Matt Bartram (Air Formation) and Rachel Staggs (Experimental Aircraft, All in the Golden Afternoon, Eau Claire) create a sound reminiscent of the classic shoegaze era. Their phosphorescent dreaminess transcends any quick categorization though, and the duo explore a location
somewhere between Flying Saucer Attack and Dedicated records. These songs were started in England on Matt’s 4-track cassette recorder and completed in Austin, Texas on Rachel’s 1/2” 8-track reel-to-reel, resulting in a warm sea of analog sound."
the static silence formed in late 2002 when rachel (experimental aircraft, eau claire, all in the golden afternoon) visited matt (air formation) for the first time in brighton, england. hove, actually. they never really thought too much about playing music together until near the end of her visit. matt showed rachel a song he wrote and she added an improptu guitar part as well as vocals to compliment what matt was singing and playing. it was a short 15 minute session of creation that is captured on a mini-disc somewhere. rachel loved matt's song so much that she encouraged him to send over 4-track tapes so she could transfer them, add to the songs, mix each track and send them back to matt. this was quite a task and rachel scrapped everything she transferred to computer and worked on in 2003 and 2004. in january of 2005 she bought an old reel-to-reel 8-track machine. although this limited what she could add, this method proved to maintain the original analog sound.
