about

Snowradius is the first new holiday Milieu recording since 2011's Swirling Tinsel Singalongs (itself a compilation of two previously recorded holiday EPs), an ambient triptych that significantly expands the chilly Winter atmosphere of Swirling Tinsel's "Snowradio".

Created using similar production methods as those employed on Accumulation States, Snowradius' three long suites are generated using extremely processed and reduced vinyl recordings of orchestral, choral and other Christmas music, smeared and melted down to the point that what you are perceiving is a temperature and blend of colors, with a very occasional and subtle chord change that might, in some rare case, recall a holiday tune from the past that you might recognize. These aural paintings are made complete by casting them over a carefully constructed backdrop of field recordings, from two different snowfalls 600 miles apart. Murmurs of fuzzed speech drip in and out of the haze like melting icicles, and cold air frames the deep ambient vistas with a subtle breath, barely visible in the cold.

Snowradius is a massive triple-album set, designed to calm and comfort the stressed holiday listener for bedroom or headphone playback applications. Mixed at a modest level, these pieces can be used for warm Winter sleep, late night reading or fireside intimacy, providing only texture and tonal color to accent the relaxed environment of your choice.
