about

After the dissolution of The Infant Cycle, Jim DeJong went on a hiatus from production, and disappeared into seclusion. However, after a few months, an offer to score a feature film appeared, which spurred him back into production. A lot of flexible basic tracks were produced during this time, that could be fitted together for different scenes. Unfortunately, the film production ground to a halt, but being active again caused DeJong to begin his new project, The Sand Rays, and adapt some of the film score ideas into something that could be released and heard. A number of EPs were released on DeJong's label The Ceiling in tiny editions, under a number of similar names (The Sand Rays, Ray Sands, Sandra Y.), which are hard to find. The sounds emanate from an assortment of instruments and sound makers including carved runout grooves, bass guitar, bird cages, shortwave radio, and more, cooked into a choppy stew of drones and mood.

The cover photo reflects its contents. Up close, a pretty photo of sumac, but pulls back to reveal a more troubled location. This location was outside DeJong's old studio, a brownsfield too toxic for people, but a safe place for the vegetation to flourish.

The material could be considered an extension of the final inclinations of The Infant Cycle, such as the "Drop-out Center" album (2012, Zhelezobeton): zhelezobeton.bandcamp.com/album/drop-out-center A new chapter in the same book? Now we bring together the rare first four EPs in an easier to find and digest package, with full colour sleeve artwork. Eight interlocking tracks. Play it straight through, or random, or repeat.

После распада The Infant Cycle канадский музыкант Джим ДеДжонг устранился от звукозаписи и заперся в уединении. Однако несколько месяцев спустя ему поступило предложение написать саундтрек для фильма, что подстегнуло его вернуться к работе. Он создал множество гибких базовых дорожек для озвучивания различных сцен. К сожалению, производство фильма вскоре было свёрнуто, и Джиму пришлось перенаправить свою творческую активность в новый проект The Sand Rays, для которого он смог адаптировать несколько идей из саундтрека в нечто такое, что можно было послушать и выпустить отдельно. На собственном лейбле The Ceiling он издал несколько EP под сходными именами (The Sand Rays, Ray Sands, Sandra Y.), тиражи были очень маленькими и сейчас их непросто найти. Звуки, использованные для этих записей, извлекались из множества инструментов и подручных средств, таких как прорезанные дорожки на виниловых пластинках, бас-гитара, клетки для птиц, коротковолновое радио и т.п. Всё это Джим запёк в острое жаркое из гудений и настроений.

Картинка на обложке отражает атмосферу записи. Вблизи это кажется симпатичной фотографией сумаха, но стоит отойти чуть подальше, как открывается локация помрачнее. Это место находилось прямо за стенами старой студии ДеДжонга: коричневое поле, слишком токсичное для людей, но безопасное для процветания растительности.

Этот материал можно считать продолжением последних намерений The Infant Cycle, реализовавшихся на альбоме "Drop-Out Center" (2012, Zhelezobeton): zhelezobeton.bandcamp.com/album/drop-out-center Возможно, даже новой главой в той же книге? Так или иначе, сейчас мы собрали эти редкие четыре EP под одной обложкой в более доступной форме. Восемь взаимосвязанных треков. Слушайте их как есть, в случайном порядке и на повторе.
