Artist: Lillith: mp3 download Genre(s): Metal: Gothic Discography: Survive the Cold Eternity Year: 2002 Tracks: 15 The combined efforts of producer Scott Gibbons and vocal subscriber Rachel Wilson, Lilith is an experimental electronic/dark ambient group with feet ingrained with equalize force in industrial and "power electronics." Unlike artists commonly associated with the latter iI genres, notwithstanding, Lilith's music is conceived from the standpoint of simpleness and resourcefulness, with Gibbons' artful approaching to the musical potentiality of terrene objects and exclusively identical minimum production slickness substituted for industrial/noise music's laconic, often messy cheek. A calibrate of the University of Chicago Master's programme in the Philosophy of Religion, Gibbons' undergrad and graduate careers were split betwixt books and unhindered improvisational outings, offset with the Chicago tout ensemble New Elementals, so solo as Nipple Runs and Laughingwind. The Elementals were as famed for their live performances (which often included expand costumes, dramatics, and pyrotechnics), and Gibbons has maintained his gustatory perception for last performance both as a solo artist and with Lilith. Gibbons released respective self-produced tapes -- both with the Elementals, as well as under his solo guises -- before forming Lilith in 1991 with vocalist Rachel Wilson, with whom he'd worked periodically in the past. Like earlier material, Gibbons' Lilith tapes were dominated by an unsettling mixture of sparse, treated instruments and percussion, just with increasing truck apt to a heavily conceptual approach to ground good and unremarkable objects (rocks on Rock, spokesperson and hint on Agelaius phoeniceus). Unlike many sound hackers, yet, Gibbons prefers real time manipulation, with single-track studio improvisations restricting generational levelheaded experiments to placement and piece of music (although he does enjoyment computers, mainly for material time processing). Gibbons' Lilith material at long last began finding a bigger audience in 1992, with his first official pour forth, Stone, issued by the Belgian experimental label Sub Rosa, and he's since been featured on compiling releases side by side with such artists as Locust and David Toop. Gibbons' ongoing involvement in the extremes of spirituality and sex likewise stay on to inform his music, with themes derivation from Theosophy, Crowleyan numerology, and sexual aberration cropping up both in song-titles and conceptual motifs. 1999's isolationist symphonic music orchestra Field Notes marked his number one mercantile establishment for World Domination, a teaming that would only furnish one record album under the Lilith nickname. After operative on several other projects, Gibbons off back to his pet design and released Imagined Compositions for Water on Les Disques Hushush. |
