about

Rainsweet Stillness is a new work from prolific sound explorer and Verz label owner, Phil Maguire, and takes it's name from a poem by E.E.Cummings.

Maguire's work explores reductive soundscapes which incorportae modular synthesis and sometimes cassettes. His recent output has seen him push the boundaries of extended drone with shades of Eliane Radigue and Phill Niblock present; his vast swathes of stillness and slowly undulating tones are both immersive and meditative.

With Rainsweet Stillness Maguire has pared things down even further. We are presented with an almost blank canvas on which the minutae of sonic gestures are scattered sparsely like delicate flecks of paint from a flicked brush. The listener finds themselves suspended, floating in silence, anticipating the arrival of the next delicate and ephemeral detail. This is an extreme piece of work; almost like a photographic negative of a harsh noise record where the overloaded sonic onslaught is inverted completely. At 28 minutes of near silence, Rainsweet Stillness provokes us to question the very nature of sound and how we perceive and relate to it; lowercase music in its ultra minimalist form.

reminiscent of early releases on Line and the early work of Richard Chartier, Rainsweet Stillness is an important piece of art; a statement.

Headphones are recommended for this release.
