about

Following 2021’s “Triptych” series of releases, “Nephoscope” is the new full length LP by Mat Warren. The album is inspired by the ever-evolving vistas that occur above our heads. Ten sound journeys representing the ten major cloud types invite the listener to spend some time cloud observing, to simply look up.

The pieces that make up “Nephoscope”, all stem from short improvisations and happy accidents recorded between August 2021 and August 2022 – a full year of observations and their audio interpretation/counterpart. Moving away from longform sound pieces, Nephoscope explores a more compact format where Mat challenged himself to develop his intricate sound journeys within a shorter time scale. The pieces morph and develop and ultimately end much like the sky's above us.

The creation of the pieces coincided with experimentation with different performance setups, loopers, pedals, computers and modular equipment resulting in fresh approaches and inspiration whenever a new piece was attempted. The sky's out of his studio windows allowed Mat to react to the heavens motions and capture the results within this release.

The Nephoscope (Greek: cloud observer) is an instrument used in determining the directions of movement of clouds. But the name, “cloud observer” conjures images of mindfully laying on your back and watching the clouds drift by. Although images of fluffy white Cumulus clouds are to be found at the core of “Nephoscope”, There are also the flat, featureless and uniform gray Stratus clouds, the dark gray Nimbostratus that blot out the sun, thin, wispy Cirrus clouds, streaking across the sky, patchy rows of Cirrocumulus clouds - all providing inspiration for the music to be found on Mat’s latest album “Nephoscope”.
