Using recycled landfill materials to create string instruments.. Brilliant!

Forss — Ecclesia

New epic album from Eric Wahlforss of Soundcloud, with a lovely site to present it. Have a listen.

As relevant now as he was then, here's a bit from a letter to his wife, more after the jump...

"It is perfect. We were never really born, we will never really die. It has nothing to do with the imaginary idea of a personal self, other selves, many selves everywhere: Self is only an idea, a mortal idea. That which passes into everything is one thing. It’s a dream already ended. There’s nothing to be afraid of and nothing to be glad about."

Underworld’s originating members Karl Hyde and Rick Smith are part of a high-end design collective/commercial house that many on surfstation will know... Tomato. with a penchant for typography and avant-digital layouts, they were so much more than nocturnal nob-twirlers. even the titles of their albums are subtle tells of a band set apart from their genre. they made it look easy. writing hooks was always effortless for them. forget the classy, cheese-free stadium dance party siren call from their massive hit Cowgirl… just think back to the global sound meme they created when asked to write a track for Trainspotting.

i've uploaded one of their more subtle compositions and a favorite of mine for creative sessions. and long solitary drives. Beautiful Burnout…
