About the album: The infinite mirror started as a single sound, a seed from millions of threads, which grew into the album you are now listening to. In the software I created pyramid shapes by cutting and pasting the music, thus creating "The infinite mirror."

Luciftias debuts on Webbed Hand with a contribution to the Rain series, a minimalistic yet evocative drone-ambient composition. About the album: "I have enjoyed rain from the time I was a child: the gentle patter of it on the roof, the particular smell after a thunderstorm, and the sense of renewal that it brings. To be able to marry the soothing sound of rain with droning ambience appealed greatly to me, and it is my pleasure to contribute to Webbed Hand's "Rain" series....

The signature sound of tgbts is the use of heavily processed guitar to craft profound droning soundscapes. About the album: A selection of tracks recorded between 2009 and 2011 that were all more or less planned to be completed - but finally stayed in their first, raw state, with various flaws. This is TGBTS' 2nd "posthumous" album. As usual, using only guitars (often prepared, detuned, e-bowed...) and effects. About the artist: "One person project, creating experimental...

In "Divergence" the post-rock/ambient fusion of The Nikki Grace Experience explores the concepts of nearness and separation, the first of a trilogy. About the album: "For a long time, I've worked on this piece of music. I was not sure whether to release it or not, but now I think it's time to release the first part of a trilogy. Divergence is the parting from everyone you've ever loved that was closing into your heart. So "we breathe differently" says so much about...

The result of a creative challenge, this work uses a variety of acoustic instruments and sound sources to craft rhythms and ambient textures. "Dance Like Branches" was a response to an artistic challenge by C.P. McDill for mystified to compose in an older style, and without using certain tools. All sounds were created by hand in the studio from instruments played by Thomas, with the exception of the vocal samples. Musicians who like the sounds are welcome to remix them or to use them...

Further exploration of atmospheric improvisations on heavily effected guitar characterize this sequel to "The Goat Encompasses." Ice Guild Kaiser is a recording project of C.P. McDill and is a sub-project of Saluki Regicide in ways that are difficult to define. Is it a variant personality, a mutation, a doppelganger, or an entirely new form of life? Still finding its way, perhaps we shall see it mature into its own person, though we are aware that the apple seldom falls far from the...

Further explorations of the dronescape by Mystified with his remarkable blue plastic trombone. Bone Drones has by now become an open-ended quest to find the sonic possibilities of the trombone as a drone instrument. "For Bone Drones 5, Mystified brought in some new elements. One was Paulstretch-- some of the pBone sounds were stretched before they were further effected, giving them more of a string-like quality. Another was bits and pieces of an ancient opera recording, highly warped and...

Mystified has expanded the original Bone Drones trilogy into new territory thanks to the acquisition of a new instrument. A recently invented trombone called the Jiggs pBone has revolutionized the world of "brass" instruments. Although it is constructed of plastic, it is capable of the rich tones and volume of its traditional metallic cousin. It is in its lighter weight and less brassy overtones that new possibilities occur, and thusly inspired, Thomas Park of Mystified has undertaken...

Swirling, heavily effected guitar sounds weave a cinematic soundscape in Spycker's debut album for Webbed Hand. "Surrounded by menacing trees. Each branch a threatening limb. A strong and ruthless wind blows with irksome ease. A forest filled with a shroud of desolate despair. Darkness interspersed with fragments of hazy fog, withered leaves and flowers bent all over from lack of shade and water. Several nights elapse in unspeakable horror. Would it eventually collapse back onto itself?...

Plunderman strikes again, this time with a set of Moog-flavored grooves with a worldly perspective. "Revenge Of Plunderman" completes the trilogy which started with "Adventures Of Plunderman" and continued with "Return of Plunderman." Plunderman continues his quest for the perfectly eccentric loop with some ancient Moog melodies ripped from vinyl. Being somewhat twisted, he has transformed these vinyl loops into world-beat songs.

The cryptically familiar Ice Guild Kaiser recently emerged from his workshop with this purpose-built addition to the popular "Rain" series. This recording is a product of Ice Guild Kaiser's research into Webbed Hand's venerable "Rain" series, and it bears structural similarities to the earliest releases, while showing the influence of later mutations. He acknowledges that, at heart, "Rain" is functional music, a remote descendent of so-called elevator music, easy...
