about

A note from Zane

the moon, wisdom, knowledge, writing, hieroglyphs, science, magic, art and

… judgment, so they say

i have got to know a stand of sixteen Ibis quite well over the last few years, never any trouble

we live in times of rising fascism once more, though of course, it has never been far away. the endless war stretches on. the whole system - the onslaught of inhumane competition, the normalisation of cruelty, racism, genocide ...

“ni dios, ni estado, ni patrón” …

from the stand there is one Ibis, once or twice every day, to oversee an avocado tree and keep a keen eye, just in case some avos might fall … the tree is forty years old ... the bill well skilled.

released October 17, 2025

most of the field recordings here are from the same stretch of wetlands and riverside. many birds live there, and they try their best not to offend anyone, but their habitat will soon be scraped out and covered in crude development. there are three recordings of the same lagune at different times of day, one is treated and overlayed on another … and one is annotated with a distant creek at nightfall, in the mountains after a cyclone. there is also a bell, treated, from the ice cream truck that, for the last twenty years or so, has passed up my street every month ...
in the evolving electronics, feedback styling and synthesis improvisation there is an abiding interest in the raveling and unraveling of sonic textures .. exploring unresolved tensions between ideas of time and space, the recorded and the live, the analogue and the digital, the real and the unreal ...
……………..
analogue, digital and virtual synthesizers, found sounds, sonic devices, analogue echo & digital delay units, percussives.

created, recorded, audiomulched and mixed at Studio Vector in Slacks Creek, January thru June 2025.

I would like to show my respect and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country and to all Elders past, present and emerging, the Traditional Owners of the lands, winds and waters.
Many thanks to Lawrence English for mastering and support.
