Universal Veil
Helios/hind
This duo's improvised live performances, featuring their own handmade "ritual instruments", are by turns meditative, trancelike, joyous and surreal. The album 'Helios/Hind' is a fascinating sonic artifact which unearths lo-fi cassette recordings from several years of past performances and weaves them together into a new whole, using an array of esoteric processes. The material is possessed by a spirit of mystery and discovery. Unusual sounds are spontaneously generated, recycled and transmuted into a deeply strange, magical and psychedelic soundscape which at times feels like it has a life of its own. This edition is limited to 231 hand-numbered copies. The records are housed in a Manilla die-cut sleeve with a sun scorched sigil branded on the reverse and packaged with an insert pamphlet with triangulation notes.
